    The castle was built around 1240 to monitor a nearby military road and has been named "von Montfort" since 1247. In the 15th century, the residents were temporarily robber barons. In 1456, various troops conquered the castle complex and destroyed it.
    The ruin lies between Hallgarten and Duchroth on a 280 m above sea level. NN high summit in the middle of a forest and can be visited for free.

    The castle was built around 1240 to monitor a nearby military road by the Counts of Veldenz, who appointed Eberhard von Lautern as a lieutenant.

    Until 1432 the castle remained in the possession of the von Lautern family, who from 1247 had been called "von Montfort".

    In the 15th century, the residents of the Ganerbeburg were sometimes robber barons. In 1456 the troops of the Archbishop of Mainz Diether von Mainz and the Elector Friedrich I of the Palatinate conquered the castle complex and destroyed it.
