Ochsenburg has an interesting history. The little town used to be surrounded by a wall, the remains of which can still be seen today and which are under monument protection. The town charter remained in the eventful history until 1807, the political development corresponds to that of Zaberfeld. The outbuildings of the former Renaissance castle are reminiscent of the Lords of Sternenfels, who owned Ochsenburg. Unfortunately, the castle itself was demolished in the first half of the 19th century. The street "Schloßhof" is also a relic from this bygone era.

Some of the houses in Ochsenburg still have the coat of arms of the old castle. Tombs of the von Sternenfels family from the 16th century are in the Protestant parish church. The Gothic pulpit with a renaissance support and the baptismal font from 1478 in the church are also worth seeing.
