Medieval town with ramparts and keep

Wassenberg was first mentioned in a document in the “Klosterrather Annals” (Annales Rodenses). Klosterrath is today's Rolduc near Herzogenrath. In 1020, Emperor Henry II (1002 - 1024) gave the Flemish nobleman Gerhard von Antoing rich land holdings in Wassenberg in return for services rendered. After the expansion of the motte (original castle), his descendants called themselves “Count of Wassenberg”. Count Gerhard III of Wassenberg and Geldern is also considered the founder of the Wassenberg St. George's Abbey and the builder of the St. George's Provost Church. The founding document from September 30, 1118 is still preserved in an older copy. The abbey and church helped determine the fate of the town for centuries.

City with keep

In the middle of the Tüschenbroich castle or mill pond is the Tüschenbroich motte (castle hill) - an archaeological monument with a great history. Similar mottes can be found in Aldeberg and on the Helpensteierbach near Arsbeck or Brempt Castle in Niederkrüchten-Brempt. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motte_Tüschenbroich

Great building on a very nice market square 👍

The Wassenberg town hall is a reconstruction of the town hall from 1902, which was severely damaged in the war, and whose forms are based on the previous building from 1753. The town hall follows the old tradition of the Wassenberg town hall, but in the redesign of the post-war period it occupies the space of the former town hall and two adjoining houses and is thus closed as a four-winged complex around an inner courtyard, which has a gallery on the first floor.
