The moated castle Haus Pesch is located on the northeastern edge of Mülheim , a district of Zülpich in the Euskirchen district in North Rhine-Westphalia, on the Rotbach .

Haus Pesch was one of 14 farms in the area of Wichterich that belonged to the Prüm Abbey . They owned the moated castle from the 9th to the 13th century. In 1246 the farms were donated to Kurköln as part of the Hochstadenschen donation . It was first mentioned in 1447, when Heinrich von Geisbusch sold his “Hof zum Pesch” to Johann von Kinsweiler. His descendants kept the estate until the 16th century. The Rhenish nobles as owners changed several times. In 1708 the property came to Baroness Schall von Bell, née von Hompesch-Bollheim. Her husband Heinrich von Reusch had the manor house that still exists today built in 1711 . In 1751 the estate was sold to Clemens August Schall von Bell zu Morenhoven, who however, five years later, sold it on to the Cologne mayor Franz Joseph von Herresdorf. On July 11, 1792, the Cologne patrician family von Groote, who was related to him and still owns and lives in Haus Pesch, became the owners. The von Groote family also owned the manors Kitzburg , Hermülheim and Dransdorf earlier .

The four-sided courtyard, which was formerly completely surrounded by moats, has no visible building fabric that is older than the manor house from 1771.

The mansion is a simple two-story brick building with six or seven axes.

The castle was entered on November 4, 1986 under number 76 in the list of monuments of the city of Zülpich .
