A Rhenish moated castle in the Jülich district of Barmen. The building complex is now owned by the Order of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales. The buildings are used partly as an administrative building for the order, as a monastery and also for a school (Gymnasium Haus Overbach).

The first documented mention of Haus Overbach as a knight's seat can be found in 1341 in a document by Johannes de Overbach.

Haus Overbach is a moated castle that is now owned by Francis de Sales' Oplaten. The buildings are now used as a monastery and high school. The entire large monastery complex with courtyard and outdoor facilities is very well maintained, very beautiful.
