Entrance to Brueggen Castle. Built by the Counts of Kessel in the 13th century to secure a ford across the Schwalm, it came into the possession of the Jülich dukes at the beginning of the 14th century, who replaced the existing building with a brick fort. After Brüggen was occupied by French troops in 1794, it was sold to a private individual under the French government at the beginning of the 19th century and today houses a museum, among other things.

We set the starting point near the Schwalmpforte (on the left in the picture) on the West Ring, at the corner of Klosterstraße. The Schwalmpforte is one of the two former gates to the then Brüggen fortress. More than 500 years ago, the Schwalm was the border to the Duchy of Geldern, which was part of the Spanish-Dutch territory. The southern Schwalmufer is therefore still called 'De Span'sche Sie' (the Spanish side) by the locals today.
