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.

The castle belongs to the municipality of Sankt Johann in Rhineland-Palatinate and is located northwest of Mayen on a rocky outcrop at the confluence of the Nitzbach and Nette rivers. Along with Eltz Castle and Lissingen Castle, Bürresheim Castle is one of the few aristocratic residences in the Eifel region that was never conquered or destroyed, surviving unscathed both the wars of the 17th and 18th centuries and the social upheavals resulting from the French Revolution. Its history was largely shaped by its location on the border between the two ecclesiastical electorates of Cologne and Trier.

The Nürburg is the highest castle in Rhineland-Palatinate (676.5 m above sea level). It was built on top of a weathered volcanic vent made of basalt. The basalt rock gave the mountain and the castle its name: Mons Nore, the black mountain. He also provided the building materials for the castle. When the weather is clear, the keep (39 m high) offers a fantastic panoramic view of the entire Eifel, but also of the heart of the "Green Hell", the Nordschleife, which winds its way through the woods around the castle.
