Haus Overbach stands in Jülich (Kreis Düren), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Haus Overbach is a former moated manor house in the Barmen district of Jülich. Held from the fourteenth century onward by a succession of Rhenish noble families, it now belongs to a religious order that runs a monastery and a school on the site. The present buildings date from the late eighteenth century, replacing the earlier medieval residence, and reflect this long chain of ownership rather than any surviving fortification.
