The Schallenburg was a fortified noble residence located in what is now the town of Euskirchen, in North Rhine-Westphalia. First recorded in the 14th century as a noble seat before becoming a proper Burg in the 16th century, it changed names several times along with its succession of owning families, eventually taking the name of the Schall von Bell family. Largely destroyed in the town fire of 1625 and rebuilt on a smaller scale afterwards, it was almost entirely lost during the Second World War. As a result, no standing structure remains to visit on site today.
