Wijchen, Municipal territory in Gelderland, Netherlands.
The municipality extends over 69 square kilometers, with a network of waterways and green spaces surrounding residential neighborhoods spanning across eight population centers.
The first written record of Castle Wijchen dates to 1392, when the Van Galen family transferred control of the fortification to Gelre under pressure from Kleve.
The Castle Wijchen, rebuilt in Dutch Renaissance style in 1609, now functions as a central location for municipal gatherings and marriage ceremonies.
The municipality provides essential services through its administrative offices, managing waste collection, identity documents, and driver licenses for 41,261 residents.
Several neighborhoods in the municipality use a numbered street system instead of traditional street names, differing from standard Dutch urban planning.
