Burg Langendorf is a moated manor house in Zülpich, in the Kreis Euskirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia. First recorded in 1240 as a manorial court of the Counts of Jülich and seat of a local tribunal, it was largely rebuilt in the 15th century by the von Gertzen family, who added a half-timbered upper floor and a projecting chapel bay. Long neglected, the building was restored from 1958 onward and has housed the Manfred Vetter-Stiftung für Kunst und Kultur since 2001. Visitors can see the carriage house, the vaulted ground-floor rooms and the surrounding grounds.
