Burg Großbüllesheim, Medieval castle in Euskirchen, Germany.

The castle stands between Erftmühlenbach and Untere Ahr rivers, featuring a residential building of the outer bailey and a gate tower.

Built in 1402 as a fief for the Duke of Jülich, the castle remained a noble residence until 1802 when it gradually deteriorated.

The structure represents the evolution of medieval architecture in North Rhine-Westphalia, transitioning from a defensive fortress to an agricultural estate.

The castle property is now divided into two sections, each owned by separate families who maintain independent agricultural operations.

The original moat that surrounded this two-part castle complex has been completely filled with earth, concealing its former water castle design.
