The ruins of Prümerburg Castle are enthroned on a steep slate cliff near Prümzurlay, high above the Prüm river valley.
The most striking preserved element of the medieval complex is the round keep (main tower), which is visible from afar and dominates the landscape. The castle was probably built in the 12th century and was used by the Lords of Prüm to monitor and secure the strategically important Prüm Valley. Today, the freely accessible ruins are a registered cultural monument and a popular hiking destination. The castle offers an impressive view over the narrow river valley.
