Article History
Augustusburg Castle, Brühl, Ger.
Augustusburg Castle, Brühl, Ger.

Brühl, city, North Rhine–Westphalia Land (state), northwestern Germany. It lies near the left bank of the Rhine River, south of Cologne. It was a stronghold of the electors of Cologne from 1285 onward, and its Baroque Augustusburg Castle (1725), with extensive gardens and a famous staircase by Balthasar Neumann, was their summer residence. Within Augustusburg’s gardens is the smaller Falkenlust (1733), a hunting lodge by François de Cuvilliés. The castles were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984.

After 1945 Augustusburg Castle was often used by the federal government for official functions. The city is a resort for the people of Cologne; its industries include sugar refining and the manufacture of automobiles. Brown-coal mining was formerly important, but the mines have ceased production. Pop. (2003 est.) 44,115.
