The castle Boulich is a medieval castle in the field district in Wichterich , a district of Zülpich in North Rhine-Westphalia .
According to the derivation of its name (Bulliacum), the former moated castle could be of Roman-Celtic origin. The single farm estate used to be owned by the Prüm Abbey .
The manor mentioned in the 14th century was still eligible for state assembly in the 19th century.
Through the marriage of Sophia von Boulich, the property came to Richard Krümmel von Nechtersheim at the beginning of the 16th century . He was the owner until 1604. The new owner was Olmissen called Mulstroe. In 1681 the property was pledged to Timan von Nickel, who later had the manor house built. The architectural style was copied from Müddersheim Castle . Tilmann's son-in-law Werner Krey was enfeoffed with the property in 1731. In 1859 the files list a son-in-law of the Krey family, Hartmann, as the owner. In inheritance proceedings, the castle fell to the current owner, Baron von Coels von der Brügghen .
The former two-part moated castle is still surrounded on three sides by a water-filled moat. The almost square island of the mansion has a modern machine shed, which stands on the floor plan and the outer walls, some of which are up to 1.5 m high, of the mansion that was destroyed in World War II. After the fire of 1896, most of the buildings were renovated.
