Burg Geyen stands in Pulheim (Rhein-Erft-Kreis), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Geyen is a former moated manor house in the Geyen district of Pulheim, in North Rhine-Westphalia. Its nearly square layout reflects its old role as a customs post on the border between the territories of Cologne and Jülich. A round tower and a rectangular one stand at the northern and western corners, and a stone bridge now leads across what was once a water-filled moat, where the slots for the chains of a former drawbridge can still be seen. Most of the surviving buildings, built of brick, date from a rebuilding after a fire in the 17th century.

What to know

The building stands at the northern edge of the village of Geyen, on the road toward Pulheim.
The inner courtyard can only be reached via a single stone bridge, the sole access to the former moated island.
