Burg Geyen, Medieval castle in Pulheim, Germany
The castle features a square layout with round and rectangular towers at its northern and western corners, connected by a stone bridge entrance.
First documented in 1337 as a knight's estate, the castle served as a toll station between the territories of Cologne and Jülich.
The structure represents North Rhine-Westphalian medieval architecture with its water-surrounded design and later baroque reconstruction following the 1664 fire.
The castle lies at the northern exit of Geyen toward Pulheim, next to the Pulheimer Bach stream that once filled its surrounding moats.
The original chains slots for a drawbridge remain visible in the stone structure, showing the medieval defensive system of the castle.
