Burg Gleuel is a former moated manor house, among the oldest in the medieval Kölngau, now part of the town of Hürth. The present two-winged building dates from a 1632 rebuilding of what had originally been a four-winged complex, first recorded in the late ninth century. The surrounding park, laced with branches of the Gleueler Bach, is open to the public, though the building itself is privately occupied and only rarely accessible for concerts or cultural events.

- The building itself is privately occupied and not open for public visits.
- Only the surrounding park, crossed by the Gleueler Bach, is freely accessible.
