The Castle Road in Nörvenich , a municipality in the district of Düren ( Nordrhein-Westfalen ), is a historic main thoroughfare.

The road branches off at the market square in an easterly direction. It crosses the Neffelbach and then turns into the street Am Kreuzberg with its holy house . It continues in the direction of Pingsheim or Erftstadt. In 1926 the road was first paved with bluestone paving .

Before 1934 this street was called Provinzialstraße . From 1934 until the end of the Second World War , the street was called Hermann-Göring-Straße . At that time there were streets in almost all places that were named after Hermann Göring or Adolf Hitler . By decision of the council of December 3, 1954, the name was given in Burgstrasse . Until the 1980s, the street was a classified state road with the number 263. Due to the bypass, it lost its importance and was downgraded to a municipal road.

The street got its name from the neighboring Gymnich Castle, which was renamed Nörvenich Castle in the 1980s . The castle used to be at Burgstrasse 13 . On September 29, 1981, the council decided to give the castle the name Schloss Nörvenich .

The first school in Nörvenich, the vicariate and the chaplain’s house are located in a small cul-de-sac .
