Burg Kinzweiler is a former moated manor house in the Kinzweiler district of Eschweiler. Only the main residential wing survives today, a privately owned building now divided among several families, its ivy covered brick facades framing a baroque style courtyard of honour. The present structure largely dates from a mid eighteenth century remodelling ordered by the Palatine Elector Charles Theodore, built upon an early sixteenth century Gothic house raised by the von Palant family.
