Burg Mülheim stands in Zülpich (Kreis Euskirchen), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Mülheim Castle is a former moated castle standing at the edge of the village of Mülheim, a district of Zülpich, beside the Rotbach stream. What can be seen today is a large four-sided farm courtyard, entirely rebuilt after a fire in 1863, rather than the original medieval structure. The estate operates as a working farm with a shop selling its own produce, making it more of a place one passes through than a monument set up for visitors. Its history traces back to land owned by Prüm Abbey, later passing to the Electorate of Cologne.

What to know

The site today is a private working farm with a farm shop, not a monument set up for visiting.
The buildings seen today date from a rebuilding carried out after the fire of 1863, not from the Middle Ages.
The moat that once surrounded the Wasserburg is no longer visible today.
The site lies at the edge of the village of Mülheim, a district of Zülpich, beside the Rotbach stream.
No visiting hours are attached to the site, so any visit is limited to viewing the courtyard from outside.
