Lissingen Castle, Medieval castle in Gerolstein, Germany

Lissingen Castle stands along the River Kyll with Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architectural elements visible throughout the stone structures and towers.

The castle's documented history begins in 1212, leading to its division into upper and lower sections in 1559 through an estate partition.

The castle complex includes residential buildings, farm structures, and a mill that served the local community for agricultural production and grain processing.

The lower castle section functions as an event venue while maintaining a restaurant and bakery in the converted historical mill building.

Together with Bürresheim and Eltz castles, Lissingen Castle remains one of three castles in the Eifel region that never experienced destruction.
