The Untere Burg Kuchenheim is the remainder of a former moated castle on Erftmühlenbach in the Euskirchen district of Kuchenheim in the Euskirchen district in North Rhine-Westphalia .
The moated castle on two islands directly on the Erftmühlenbach was first mentioned in writing in 1482. The manor house made of quarry stone , the main castle on the smaller island, was probably a residential tower and is now divided by the street from the former outer castle with the gatehouse from 1573.
There are only small remains of the former castle.
