Tips

"The romantic Hamm Castle lies on a ridge above the small town of Hamm, idyllically surrounded by forests and surrounded by the Prüm.

The fortifications built on late medieval walls, the predecessor of which was first mentioned in 1052 as owned by the Lords of Hamm, rises on a long spur surrounded by the Prüm River.

Today's building, a main house, surrounded by two high defense towers, the chapel, built under a late Romanesque vault, a Gothic hall, the defense wall, which encloses the courtyard of 3,000 square meters with internally attached outbuildings, mostly dates from the 14th century.

Hamm Castle changes its face depending on the weather and light, depending on the season and mood. Sometimes it looks like a Scottish castle, sometimes like a southern European Palacio and sometimes like what Schloss Hamm is - one of the largest medieval fortifications in the Eifel."

The late medieval fortifications from the 14th century in Hamm near Bitburg is the largest of the privately inhabited Eifel castles. Here you can celebrate parties, get married in a civil ceremony, have a church wedding in the baroque chapel, have children baptized, dine in the Knights' Hall, dance, celebrate birthdays and anniversaries, have a champagne reception in the inner courtyard and much more. The forest around the castle is available for off-road trips. Guided tours for groups on request. Two holiday apartments are available for a relaxing holiday.
