Untere Burg stands in Euskirchen (Kreis Euskirchen), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.
The Untere Burg is what remains of a former moated castle raised on two islands along the Erftmühlenbach, in the Kuchenheim district of Euskirchen. First recorded in 1482, it consisted of a rubble stone manor house on the smaller island, likely a residential tower, and an outer bailey with a gatehouse dating from 1573. A road now runs between the two parts, and only limited traces of the original complex survive.
