The lower castle has completely disappeared. You can still see the beginning of the ring that connected the lower castle and the Ulmen city wall, a two-story outer wall of the palace, as well as a cistern and some foundation walls of other buildings. The old part of Ulmen Castle was built around 1074 AD and likely rests on the remains of a Roman settlement. In the Middle Ages, Ulmen Castle was further expanded and divided into the upper castle, whose remains of the walls still exist, and the lower castle, which extended to the banks of the maar river. Two knightly families lived in the castle, which is believed to have never been attacked or destroyed until 1673 due to its size. Only the Sun King's troops succeeded. It was rebuilt, but fell again in 1689 during the War of the Succession. However, Ulmen Castle was also rebuilt this time, with only the city wall being abandoned. With the invasion of Napoleon's soldiers, Ulmen also became French and later Prussian. The empty castle, whose last descendant died in 1801, was auctioned to a merchant from Cochem, who sold it as a quarry. When a devastating fire burned Ulmen to the ground in the 19th century, the residents of Ulmen rebuilt their houses with stones from the castle. That's why you can still see a coat of arms on some of the stables today. It wasn't until the early twentieth century that Ulmen Castle was declared a listed building and became the property of the municipality of Ulmen. The castle is always freely accessible.

An absolute highlight!!! Very friendly, delicious cake, great atmosphere, especially the garden is unique. Highly recommended!!!

From here you have a beautiful view of the impressive Nürburg.

A wonderful setting (not only) for an autumn hike.

From the viewing platform you have a fantastic view of Ulmen, as well as the castle and the church of St. Matthias. Here you will also occasionally meet bridal couples who meet here for a photo shoot. The backdrop is also really beautiful.

The castle has now been beautifully renovated - a real gem in the small town. Right next door there is a small café with a view of the castle (unfortunately, thanks to the missing section of the A1, it is right next to the busy road). There is also a Deiser castle song - you can find it at http://www.burg-dreis.com/

Always a worthwhile goal

Beautiful view over the Maar of the old town with the church.
