Burg Flamersheim, Medieval castle in Euskirchen, Germany.

Burg Flamersheim is a moated castle in the Flamersheim district of Euskirchen, first documented in 1358 as a two-part complex with a main house and outer bailey. The main house was rebuilt in the late 18th century with segmental-arched windows, a single-axis central riser with triangular pediment, corner pilasters and a terrace with an outdoor staircase. From 1861 to 1863 it was remodeled in Neo-Baroque style with a mansard roof, pilasters, portico and open tower upper floors.

A document of 1 June 1358 records Emelrich von Ringsheim confirming his house Flamersheim, with outer bailey and fortifications, as an open house of the Duke of Jülich; the two-part layout kept it eligible for the diet into the 18th century. From 1429 it was a Jülich fief of the Krümmel von Eynatten, passing by marriage to the von Palant and in 1564 to the Quadt von Landskron. Dietrich von Quadt had the medieval hall rebuilt as a Baroque residence in 1713, and Friedrich Wilhelm von Dalwigk and his wife Wilhelmine von Calcum modernised it in the late Baroque style in the last quarter of the 18th century.

The name Flamersheim traces to an 870 chronicle entry of a royal estate called Flameresheim. The castle was a Jülich fief held by the Krümmel von Eynatten, then the Quadt von Landskron from 1564. The iron gate on the garden terrace carries the alliance coat of arms of Friedrich Wilhelm von Dalwigk and Wilhelmine von Calcum, who remodelled the house in the late 18th century.

The castle is privately owned and lived in by the Bemberg family and tenants, and it cannot be visited. The small castle park and the grounds are protected as a monument since 1982. Visitors can only view the complex from the outside, so plan a short stop rather than a tour.

Caroline Bemberg, widow of Elberfeld manufacturer Julius August Bemberg, bought the castle in 1861 and rebuilt it in Neo-Baroque style by 1863. To open a distant view from the main house, the family had the south-east wing of the outer bailey demolished.
