Alte Burg (Nettersheim) stands in Nettersheim (Kreis Euskirchen), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Alte Burg was a spur castle that has since vanished, once standing on a rocky spur in the municipality of Nettersheim, in the Kreis Euskirchen. All that remains today are two wooded mounds surrounded by weekend houses, where scattered rubble stones are barely visible beneath the undergrowth. A Tranchot map from around 1809 still shows a slightly curved building labeled 'Alt Burg' on this spot. This is a site for those drawn to landscape archaeology rather than dramatic ruins.

What to know

  • No standing structures remain, only two wooded mounds with scattered stone remnants that are hard to spot.
  • The site is surrounded by private weekend houses, so visitors should stick to public paths.
  • There are no opening hours, fees, or visitor facilities, as this is an open-air site without tourist infrastructure.
  • The site is protected as a Baudenkmal in North Rhine-Westphalia.
