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.
