Haus Paland, Water castle in Erkelenz, Germany.

Haus Paland was a moated castle in Borschemich, a district of Erkelenz, behind the gardens of St. Martinus church. It consisted of a rectangular outer bailey and a main house from around 1600, with a two-storey manor house with a stepped and curved gable, a rectangular tower with a pyramidal roof, and a smaller residential building with a stepped gable. The moats were fed by the Köhm stream. The castle was demolished from 1 to 4 December 2015 for the Garzweiler II open-pit mine.

Haus Paland was first recorded in 1296 as Haus Birsmich, held by the knight Gottschalk, a vassal of the Millendonk lordship. In 1586, during the Eighty Years' War, Spanish and Cologne troops took it twice and burned the outer bailey; the present main house was probably built around 1600. The Palant family, who gave the castle its name, owned it for two centuries. In 1837 Edmund Raitz von Frentz sold it to the Lörkens family, who held it for about 170 years until it passed to RWE and was demolished on 1–4 December 2015 for the Garzweiler II open-cast mine.

The name Paland comes from the Rhenish Palant family, whose coat of arms — six black and yellow bands with a six-rayed star — appeared on the weathervane of the east tower. A sandstone chimney set into the house wall carried four ancestral coats of arms and the inscription "Anno 1624 C. H. v. P. Obrister" with the motto "Tandem bona causa triumphat".

Haus Paland stood behind the gardens of the Catholic parish church of St. Martinus in Borschemich, a village that was cleared for the Garzweiler II open-pit lignite mine. The site was demolished between 1 and 4 December 2015, so there is no building to visit; the area lies within the mining zone and is not accessible as a castle site.

During the demolition of 1–4 December 2015, archaeologists uncovered the foundation of the outer bailey and a residential tower that may date to the 13th or 14th century. The WDR reported on the progress of the work. The site was cleared for the Garzweiler II open-cast lignite mine.
