Kleeburg, Medieval castle in Euskirchen, Germany.
Kleeburg is a castle complex in Euskirchen consisting of two main sections: a manor house and a three-sided outer bailey with massive brick towers. The entire site is surrounded by a water-filled moat that once protected the property.
The site was first documented in 1393 and subsequently changed hands among various noble families. In the 16th century, the von Dadenberg family built the western and eastern towers that reinforced the fortifications.
The castle displays typical defensive architecture of the region with a drawbridge and fortified walls that visitors can still observe today. This building style reflects how noble families protected their seats during medieval times.
The castle is located at Zur Kleeburg 34 in Euskirchen and can be viewed from the outside, though it remains in private ownership as a company headquarters. Visitors should understand that this is an active working property and access may be limited.
The property originally extended across substantial grounds and included its own water mill, demonstrating the economic independence of the estate. This self-sufficiency was typical of noble seats during that period.
