The Rhine-Erft adventure region is criss-crossed by a multitude of castles and palaces, and you could probably admire many more magnificent buildings if there hadn't been so many battles in the region between Cologne and Aachen. The opponents were the archbishops of Cologne, who as electors were at the same time secular rulers, and the counts and later dukes of Jülich as well as their allies.
