The "Burghaus im Tal zu Frauenberg", located directly on the Ellenbach, was mentioned in many documents. In 1347, Gottfried von Spohnheim, the youngest son of Countess Loretta von Sponheim-Starkenburg and in his capacity the progenitor of the Lords of Allenbach, received the castle house as a fief. He was allowed to defend himself against anyone. In the document, a "Gezelin" is named as the previous owner, which suggests that it was built by the Cistercian order. The ruins may be Ellinbagh Castle, mentioned in a document from 1265. Source: text information board

Below the castle was the castle house, which is mentioned in several medieval documents. It was probably destroyed in the Thirty Years' War. In a forest map by geometer Werner from 1759, the castle house is only faintly marked, probably because it was already a ruin at the time.
