Burg Hermülheim, Medieval castle in Hürth, Germany.
The castle featured defensive water structures and strategic positioning at the collection point of Roman water supply systems in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Built around 1166, the castle passed to the Teutonic Order in 1256 and served as a summer residence for the Order's commanders from Koblenz after 1762.
The castle underwent multiple transformations, from a medieval fortress to a granary and later a representative manor house of the Teutonic Order.
The castle site, demolished in 1964, retains only its gateway arch, which stands as a protected architectural monument in the center of Hürth.
The castle's final destruction occurred during a planned fire brigade training exercise, where firefighters intentionally burned the structure to practice their skills.
