The late Gothic castle was besieged, destroyed, and rebuilt several times over the course of its eventful history. The current complex consists of the upper castle with the 34-meter-high Golo Tower and the slightly lower outer castle. The castle is protected from the city by a large castle gate, and on the other side by the keep and a moat complex. The former moat is now a ring road spanned by a 20-meter-long Gothic stone bridge. The Genovevaburg Castle houses two exhibitions of the Eifel Museum: EifelTotal and the German Slate Mine.

The Holy Spirit Chapel is a former hospital chapel that was part of a hospital in the Middle Ages. Foundations discovered in 1935 suggest that a chapel connected to the then hospital already stood here earlier. According to tradition, the chapel was looked after around 1380 by a priest and a chaplain who received a house near the hospital from the estate of a Pastor Wienand. Since 1592, the chapel has belonged to the Clemensstift.

The monument commemorates the racing driver Juan Manuel Fangio, who won the German Grand Prix held on the Nürburgring Nordschleife three times - each time for different teams: in 1954, 1956 and 1957.
