Burg Binsfeld stands in Nörvenich (Kreis Düren), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 16th century. No visits are on record for this building.
Burg Binsfeld stands within a surrounding moat in the municipality of Nörvenich, in the Kreis Düren. This brick fortified manor, rebuilt in 1533 by Werner von Binsfeld on the foundations of an earlier stronghold, is notable for its arcaded loggias arranged across two storeys on the courtyard side, ranking among the finest secular early Renaissance buildings in the Rhineland. The rectangular structure features a round tower at the southeast corner and an octagonal stair tower at the northeast corner. Since 1993 the main house has served as a senior care residence, meaning visits are generally limited to viewing the exterior.
