'''Swalmen''' ({{IPA|nl|ˈsʋɑlmə(n)|lang|162 Swalmen.ogg}}; {{langx|li|Zjwame}} {{IPA|li|ˈʒwaː˦mə|}}) is a [[village]] in the municipality of [[Roermond]], the south-eastern Netherlands. This village is situated between the German border and the river [[Meuse]] (''Maas'' in Dutch).

Until 1 January 2007, Swalmen was a separate municipality, covering the villages Swalmen, [[Asselt]] and [[Boukoul]]. These are now part of the municipality of [[Roermond]].

Many monuments are found in Swalmen, most notable the [[Hillenraad castle]], the romanesque 'Rozenkerkje' church in [[Asselt]], and castle farms Graeterhof and Zuidewijk Spick. The area attracts tourists for its peaceful surroundings, asparagus, the ''Groenewoud'' forest and forestrial swimming pool [http://www.zwembaddebosberg.nl/ de Bosberg].

In 1863, the [[Swalmen railway station]] opened on the [[Maastricht]] to [[Venlo]] railway line. In 2003, the railway line was moved to make room for the [[A73 motorway (Netherlands)|A73 motorway]] and the railway station is now detached from the rails. The building was scheduled for demolition, however it has remained.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stationsweb.nl/station.asp?station=swalmen&vraag=swalmen |title=station Swalmen |website=Stationsweb |access-date=25 April 2022 |language=nl}}</ref>
