The first written mention of Brüggen Castle and its mill dates from Christmas Eve in 1289. In the middle of the 14th century, the castle was expanded into a fortress with four towers and the buildings between the towers were then raised to their present height in the 17th century. From 1494 until 1794, Brüggen Castle remained the northernmost border fortress of the Duchy of Jülich as a state castle. In 1801 it was privatized by the French government and is still privately owned today. In 1974 the municipality of Brüggen leased the castle for the Museum Mensch und Jagd, which opened in 1979.
