Großbüllesheim Castle is the remains of a former moated castle between the Erftmühlenbach and the “Untere Ahr” waters in the Euskirchen district of Großbüllesheim (An der Burgmühle/Kompstrasse) in the Euskirchen district in North Rhine-Westphalia. The moated castle was first mentioned in 1402 as a fief of the Duke of Jülich to Reymer Spies von Büllesheim and remained a Jülich fiefdom until 1802, the year Ludwig von Brempt died. After that, the castle was no longer a noble seat and fell into disrepair.

In 1867 the property came to the Nettekoven Halfen family, who built a new house in 1886, shared the land and farm and from then on ran two independent agricultural businesses, which still have two owners today. Of the former castle complex, a two-part pond complex that represented a knight's seat suitable for state parliament, only the residential building in the outer bailey leaning against the gate tower remains today. Only remnants from the 17th century remain of the former main castle. The moat is buried.
