The oldest part of Bürresheim Castle is the imposing keep, a 12th-century tower that clearly reflects the castle's defensive origins. Over time, the castle developed into a complex double complex, consisting of the so-called Cologne Castle and the Trier Castle, which underwent different construction and expansion phases. While the Cologne Castle formed the older part and primarily served economic purposes—leading to its eventual decline—the Trier Castle was transformed into a prestigious residential palace, which continues to shape the character of the entire complex to this day.

Its history was largely shaped by its location on the border between the two ecclesiastical electorates of Cologne and Trier.

Little is known about the early history of the parish church or the parish itself. First, however, it should be noted that the present-day parish of Kirchwald emerged from the merger of the communities of Kirchesch and Waldesch to form the community of Kirchwald during the administrative reform on June 8, 1969. The fact that Kirchesch and various other communities and parishes in the surrounding area, such as Kaisersesch, were formerly also called "Esch" did not make research any easier. Strict care had to be taken not to confuse the parish of Kirchesch, here called "Esch," with another parish of the same name. In cases of doubt, the monasteries of Maria Laach and Steinfeld Monastery were asked for assistance. In a property confirmation from Steinfeld Monastery dated "1136 December 10 Pisa," the parish of Kirchesch is mentioned with the following wording: "... in Esch 6 farms with their tithes..."
