The upper forts is the older of the two Manderscheider forts. It was always owned by the Trier until the dissolution of the Electoral State and its destruction by the French (1673). Today, the well-preserved ruin is owned by the town of Manderscheid and is freely accessible.

The Kreuzwäldchen is a peaceful and completely idyllic area. South-west of the village of Kempenich, on a small hill, stands the chapel of the "Our Lady of Sorrows", which was built in 1879 by the pastor Ferdinand von Freyhold.

The parish church of St. George from 1761 is already the third church building on the same site. The baroque interior has been preserved in its original form and is very rare to find in this form. The high altar is decorated with the statue of St. George.

In the chapel there are three sculpture groups: the Entombment group from 1643, the Lamentation, or "Holy Grave" group, and the Resurrection group created in 1750.
