The castle has been destroyed many times, most recently in the Palatinate War of Succession in 1689 by French troops of Louis XIV, like most Eifel castles. Today only a ring wall and a basement tower with shooting ranges are preserved from the former, probably over 1000 years old Burganlage.

The Stadtkyll war memorial was erected in 1934. The memorial was designed by Professor Emil Fahrenkamp, an architect and university lecturer who was head of the art academy in Düsseldorf from 1937 to 1946. It commemorates the 30 soldiers from Stadtkyll who lost their lives in the First World War. Their names are engraved on the sarcophagus in the memorial crypt.

The view from here stretches far across Lake Rursee in an easterly direction into the Eifel National Park.

The St. Anna chapel is located in the idyllic Eifel village of Hausten-Morswiesen (Hauptstraße 10).

To this day, processions in the time of penance lead up the Kreuzberg, past the "Seven Sorrows of Mary".
