List of castles in the Eifel

This is a list of castles, fortifications and schlösser in the Eifel mountains covering the period from the Celts to the Early Modern Period. The list covers the area bounded by the cities of Aachen, Bonn, Koblenz and Trier, and extends in places into Luxembourg and Belgium.

Legend

Name: the official name of the structure. Other possible names are given in the relevant articles.
Location: shows the location by town borough, municipality or country (if Belgium or Luxembourg).
County/district: AC –Aachen, AW –Ahrweiler, BIT –Bitburg-Prüm, DAU –Vulkaneifel, DN – Düren, EU –Euskirchen, MYK –Mayen-Koblenz
State: federal German state: NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia), RP (Rhineland-Palatinate), but also B (Belgium), L (Luxembourg)
Type: gives the type of building: for castles usually based on the topographical location; Schlösser are, where possible, divided into e.g. residences, hunting lodges or palaces.
Built: shows (if known) when the structure was built. For castles usually only the first record or dating by epoch according to architectural style.
Preservation state and present use: describes the current state of the building. A ‘lost’ castle is one where there are no surviving remains, a ‘’burgstall’’ is a castle with no above ground remains. It is also annotated if the building is in private ownership or not accessible.
Image: shows, if possible, a photograph, picture or drawing of the structure, ruins or ‘’burgstall’’. Often only later buildings may be documented.
