Broich Castle

Broich Castle was erected to protect the town from invasion by the the Normans 1.100 years ago. This makes it Mülheim’s oldest building. It is also the oldest, still maintained Carolingian fortification north of the Alps.

Over 200 years ago, probably Broich’s most famous guest stayed there -  Luise, Queen of Prussia - as the castle was owned by her grandmother.

The castle survived a long and eventful history, including bloody feuds, wars, occupation and destruction.

Today, an exhibition of the local society for history informs the visitor about these events and explains their meaning for the city Mülheim an der Ruhr. It is also a popular location for weddings and other events.
