Museum of the Hückeswagen

Schlosskirche with local museum

The Heimatmuseum Hückeswagen is housed in the eastern hall building in Hückeswagen Castle. This was, after an unknown fate in the medieval and subsequent period, furnished in 1683 as a post-Reformation church as a Catholic church and following with large, continuous windows. It serves as a council chamber in the upper part of the town, and in the lower part, after years of free use, since 1963 as the local museum of the city of Hückeswagen.

The wall-tiled, oblique-angled torture tower is one of the components where the formal language of the late Romanesque-early-Gothic period of the castle can be traced. He had a double function when he contained the inner castle gate and the castle chapel. Today, the old gate tower forms the entrance to the museum and, in a historical position on the upper floor, it houses the chapel in the entrance area of ​​the museum. This eastern tower also serves as a city archives. Weblinks Edit sourcetext
