Haus Velbrück stands in Weilerswist (Kreis Euskirchen), 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 Velbrück is a former moated manor in Metternich, a district of Weilerswist. Regarded as the ancestral seat of the princes of Metternich-Winneburg, its origins go back to a courtyard already recorded around 1325. The baroque main house built in 1720 no longer stands, having been destroyed during the Second World War and later replaced by a single-storey dwelling, so a visit here appeals more to those interested in the site's history than in its present-day architecture.

The baroque manor house built in 1720 was destroyed during the war and no longer exists.
