The former Münstermaifeld train station is now privately owned and no longer serves food. However, there are several places to stop for refreshments in Münstermaifeld.

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 water tower in Münstermaifeld was built in 1893 and supplied the city with water from the Severus spring. Its design is reminiscent of a medieval defensive tower. It ceased operations in 1955. Today the tower can be visited and offers a panoramic view of the Maifeld.

Huge bench that makes a great photo opportunity and makes people sitting on it look very small.
