CYCLE TOUR WICKRATHER SCHLOSSTEICH The journey is the destination, and so 17 cyclists enjoyed a lovely day in Mönchengladbach's surroundings in what was at times a strong wind. The start was at 10:00 a.m. from the car park at Rheydt Castle. The route leads through the Volksgarten, the Neersbroicher Busch and the Hoppbruch to Haus Horst, from there past Steinhausen, Liedberg and Dyck Castle to Aldenhoven. Past the Jüchener Bach, we then went via Gierath and Jüchen to the edge of the open-cast lignite mine with a view into the big hole. Here we were showered heavily by the sprinklers that are supposed to bind the dust to protect the motorway. Shortly afterwards we reached the Wildenrath manor in Wanlo for a rest and refreshment. The route then went back along the Niers via Wickrath Castle, Beller Park and Zoppenbroich to Rheydt Castle.

Classically beautiful and touristy castle town. Known nationally and correspondingly well attended.

The castle pond and the castle park are worth seeing.

The historical nucleus was the motte, now overgrown with trees, located in the middle of the mill pond. This motte, Tüschenbroich (an archaeological site on an island in the middle of the castle pond, probably separated from the mainland by a moat), was built as a moated castle and first mentioned in documents in 1172 as Thuschinbroc. The buildings burned down during the Thirty Years' War. Tüschenbroich belonged to Wassenberg and later to the Duchy of Jülich. In 1624, Franz von Spiering bought the war-damaged Tüschenbroich for 24,200 Reichstalers. He had the complex rebuilt as a baroque palace complex made of brick. The "Codex Welser," an illustrated inventory of all knightly fiefdoms in the Duchy of Jülich, shows both the main castle island and the outer bailey, parts of which are still preserved today, which later (after being destroyed) became the main castle. Tüschenbroich Castle seen from the motte. The castle was repaired in 1876 after being severely damaged in a storm. Tüschenbroich Castle is now privately owned.

The Tüschenbroicher Castle is located on the site of a former medieval fortification, a so-called moth. Tüschenbroich Castle in its current form dates from the 17th and 18th centuries. After the property was acquired by Franz Freiherr von Spiering, he had the former outer bailey converted into a palace according to his plans, which is now privately owned and can only be visited by appointment. The castle complex also includes a historic oil mill from the 18th century and a former grain mill, which is located on the opposite bank of the castle pond and now houses a restaurant. Also worth seeing is the baroque Ulrichskapelle, which is located in the Tüschenbroicher Forest and was built in the 17th century. The area around the castle with the local recreation area Tüschenbroicher Wald is a popular destination today. Whether cyclists, hikers or families in summer, everyone will find relaxation from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

The historical nucleus was the Motte, which is now overgrown by trees and located in the middle of the Mühlweiher. This motte Tüschenbroich (ground monument on an island in the middle of the castle pond, probably separated from the mainland by a ditch) was built as a moated castle and was first mentioned in documents in 1172 as Thuschinbroc. The buildings burned down during the Thirty Years' War. Tüschenbroich belonged to Wassenberg and later to the Duchy of Jülich. In 1624, Franz von Spiering bought Tüschenbroich, which had been destroyed in the war, for 24,200 Reichstaler. He had the complex rebuilt as a baroque palace complex in brick construction. The "Codex Welser", an illustrated inventory of all knightly fiefdoms in the Duchy of Jülich, from 1720 shows both the main castle island and the outer bailey complex, which is still partially preserved today and later mutated into the main castle after being destroyed.

Thanks to the renovation of the town center that began in 1964, Brüggen's historical character has been preserved. Winding alleys, romantic archways, picturesque mills and traditional buildings give Brüggen its special charm. It is fun to go on a discovery tour in Brüggen and visit the beautifully restored houses, old alleys, city walls and parks. The first mention of the castle and town of Brüggen can be found in a marriage certificate dated December 24, 1289. Around 1306, Brüggen Castle was inherited by the Counts of Jülich. In 1350, it was expanded into the Jülich state fortress. Around 1473, soldiers of the Burgundian King Charles the Bold (1433 - 1477) conquered and plundered the Brüggen fortress and castle. A year later, it was plundered again by the Counts of Gelderland. The castle, which had now been badly damaged, was repaired and a second floor was added. The Counts of Moers received Brüggen Castle as a pledge and around 1494 the Counts of Jülich-Berg bought it back. In 1526 the fortifications of the town and castle were renewed and enlarged. In the years 1561 - 1577, construction work was carried out again and the fortifications were adapted to the development of offensive weapons. The oldest surviving drawing of Brüggen Castle was created around 1623. It shows the castle as a closed structure with four towers (spire roofs). Around 1770 the Rentei was rebuilt by the ducal court architect Klees. The earthen ramparts at the castle were partially demolished. In 1794 Brüggen was occupied by French troops and the Brüggen office was dissolved. Source: https://www.rheinruhronline.de/niederrhein/niederrheinteil2/brueggen/burgbrueggen.htm
