Burg Graurheindorf, also called Graurheindorfer Burg or Rheindorfer Burg, is a castle in the Graurheindorf district of Bonn. A manor stood on the site from 1131 and was turned into a castle around 1478. The current manor house was built in 1755, designed by Michael Leveilly for Maria Debèche. The three-story house has a nearly square footprint and lies in the middle of a park at the end of an avenue, built as a small pleasure palace. The façade features stone-framed arches. On top of the steep roof sits a raised spire with an octagonal turret. The entrance is reached by a central double staircase. The building is privately owned and used as a residence. The castle, the park, and a stone path crossing are protected as a monument under cultural heritage protection. Coordinates: 50°45′39″N 7°04′38″E.
