Lissingen Castle
Lissingen Castle is a well-preserved former moated double castle on the River Kyll in Gerolstein, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, with origins in the 13th century. The complex is divided into a lower and an upper castle and contains a manorhouse, gate tower, mill, tithe barn and multiple courtyards; parts serve as a museum and residence while other buildings have been restored for events and hospitality.

As it stood in 1780
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact angled manorhouse formed from three joined medieval residential towers with steep slate roofs and an L-shaped plan, abutting round towers with conical roofs at one corner. The exterior walls are rendered plaster over masonry in pale grey-beige with visible patched areas and framed rectangular windows. A cobbled bailey and broad terrace with arched vaulted openings sit before the main house; long low outbuildings and a large tithe barn line the courtyard, and traces of former moats and millstreams run at the perimeter.
