The castle was probably built by the Lewenstein family. In 1689 the castle was destroyed in the Palatinate War of Succession.

A path leads to the quite overgrown castle hill with the remains of a tower. The walls of a two-story palas (hall building) rise directly on the dirt road, but it has grown in considerably.

In 1525 the complex was damaged during the German Peasants' War. The subsequent War of the Palatinate Succession then led to final destruction by French troops in 1689.
