      Brüggen owes its existence to its geographical location. Located at the only passable ford across the Schwalm, the first settlement was formed at the crossing of two trade routes between the Rhine and the Meuse (first mentioned in a document in 897). The Counts of Kessel had a 16 m high gravel island built according to the Dutch model in order to make the swampy subsoil buildable. Then they had a castle built (oldest documentary mention 1289) to secure this stage location. Brüggen became the center of the office of the same name.

        The historical character of Brüggen has been preserved. Angled lanes, romantic archways, picturesque mills and traditional buildings make Brüggen special. The restored houses, old streets and city walls can be visited easily.
