the very pretty Wupper river.
After a 5 ks walk down the river you come to Burg an der Wupper, most houses built around 1700s
Our tour guide (Annette's friend) was the grandson of a very respected artist these are a 2 pictures inside the castle, before and after. He was also president of the castle society so you go where others don't ,
(Wiki to much for me)The architect Gerhard August Fischer from Barmen proposed in 1882 the reconstruction and submitted drawings and plans based on old documents, primarily using the castle’s appearance in the 16th century. Since 1890 the castle reconstruction committee led the restoration of the castle during the next 24 years. Painters from the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf participated. With the erection of the Battery Tower in 1914 the work seemed completed.
In the night of November 26, 1920 a large fire destroyed much of the castle. Subsequently visitors had to pay entry fees and the money was used to restore and rebuild the castle again. Reconstruction lasted from 1922 to 1925. In 1929 the Engelbert monument by the sculptor Paul Wynand was dedicated to honor the builder and archbishop.
