The imposing castle dominates the image of Blankenheim. Finds indicate that a Roman fort previously stood here. Gerhard I built the castle in 1115 above the source of the Ahr. Today the castle complex serves as a youth hostel and can be visited on request. Blankenheim Castle is located directly on the hiking trails Burgen-Route and Eifelsteig stage 6.

The oldest and today much altered part of the mill complex is the mill building with the vaulting of the mill stream in the immediate vicinity. The door frame shows the Himmerode rings and the date 1712 in a coat of arms cartouche. Below it, the date 1814 indicates the reconstruction and extension by the residential house with vaulted cellar and the barn added at right angles. In addition, the perimeter wall of the adjacent garden to the south is partially preserved.
