Brühl, Medieval town in Rhine-Erft District, Germany
Brühl stands 20 kilometers southwest of Cologne, with Augustusburg Palace and Falkenlust Palace marking its central architectural landscape at 65 meters elevation.
The settlement received town privileges in 1285 and became the residence of Prince Bishops of Cologne from 1567, leading to construction of grand palaces.
The Max Ernst Museum, opened in 2005, contains an extensive collection of works by the surrealist artist who was born in this Rhine-Erft town.
The town connects to major cities through the Left Rhine railway line and includes multiple stops on line 18 of the Cologne tram system.
Phantasialand theme park draws numerous visitors to Brühl, while the Augustusburg Palace served as a reception venue for international heads of state until 1990.
