Brüggen Castle, Water castle in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
The rectangular brick castle features four corner towers and stands on the bank of River Schwalm in the municipality of Brüggen.
The Count of Kessel constructed the fortress in the 13th century, and in 1306 it transferred to the Dukes of Jülich through inheritance.
The castle maintains a hunting and natural history museum within its walls, presenting regional artifacts and exhibitions about local wildlife.
The castle opens its doors to visitors at Burgweiherplatz 1 in Brüggen, with an entrance fee of 6 euros for groups of five people.
Between 1561 and 1577, the castle underwent extensive modifications to accommodate the military requirements of the period.
