Burg Geldern, Medieval castle ruins in Geldern, Germany
The stone remains of Burg Geldern stand along the Mühlenweg, marking the location of a former fortification that protected the Niers river crossing point.
First mentioned in 1237, Burg Geldern belonged to the Counts of Geldern and developed into a regional center with an 1800-meter-long city wall.
The castle grounds represent the foundation of Geldern's urban development, as settlements grew around the fortress during the 13th century.
Visitors can access the castle site through the Mühlenweg path, where information boards detail the structure's medieval layout and functions.
The castle's strategic position at coordinates 51.5173°N, 6.31752°E influenced the growth pattern of modern Geldern's street network and urban planning.
