Haus Katz, Architectural heritage building in Jüchen, Germany.

The two-story Haus Katz stands in central Jüchen near St. Jakobus Church, featuring baroque architectural elements and a symmetrical facade design.

Built in 1706 on the foundations of a 16th-century knight's residence, Haus Katz served as the administrative seat for Duke of Jülich's bailiff, Paulus von Katz.

The building functions as a council chamber, exhibition space, and community gathering place, maintaining its role in local governance and social activities.

The municipality acquired Haus Katz in 1973 for 105,000 Deutsche Mark and conducted major renovations between 2007 and 2009 at a cost of 560,000 euros.

The structure includes two outer bailey areas and a manor house, constructed upon ruins of an earlier knight's seat at the start of the 18th century.
