Kleve - Schwanenburg
The Schwanenburg is the landmark of the city of Cleve in North Rhine-Westphalia near the Dutch border. It was built presumably in the 11th century by the counts and later dukes of Cleve on a spur-like runner of the mountain range from the Lower Rhine and is therefore one of few height castles on the Lower Rhine. Their castle mountain was name-giving for the later originating settlement: From Cleef (for cliff, cliff) became Cleve.
She received the name because of her weather vane in the form of a big swan whose wings were the crest of the ducal coat of arms.
The arrangement was also called "het slot by Cleef", and also if it the name suggests, it concerns with the Schwanenburg not around a castle arrangement, but around one by rebuildings of a castle in the 17th century resulted castle in the style of the baroque.
