Schloss Broich, Medieval castle in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany
The fortified structure stands on the bank of the Ruhr River, featuring defensive walls, tall towers, and a historical museum within its grounds.
Founded by Henry of Franconia in 884, Schloss Broich served as an outer fort to protect against Norman invasions along the ancient Hellweg trade route.
The museum inside the castle displays a collection of documents, paintings, models, weapons, and archaeological artifacts from different historical periods.
The castle includes a barrier-free historical adventure trail with bilingual signs and QR codes to guide visitors through the late Carolingian architecture.
Prussian Queen Luise resided in the castle from 1787 to 1791, and a dedicated room in the museum preserves her personal belongings and memories.
