Burg Ließem stands in Ließem (Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Ließem is a former moated castle (Wasserburg) on the banks of the Ehlenzbach stream, around which the village of the same name developed. Its oldest core, a Gothic residential tower dating from the 14th century, can still be traced in the southwestern corner of the present manor house, largely built in the 16th century. The property remains privately owned and is used for farming today, so it is not set up for visitors and is best appreciated from the outside.

What to know

The site is privately owned and used for farming, with no interior visits possible.
It stands along the L7 road between Bickendorf and Wiersdorf, right on the Ehlenzbach stream.
No opening hours, admission fees or access conditions are published for this site.
It lies roughly 4.5 kilometres as the crow flies from the Bitburg reservoir and Schloss Hamm, making it easy to combine with a walk in the area.
