Breidenborn Castle existed here between the 12th and 15th centuries. Its construction is to be seen in connection with the securing of the Reichsland around Kaiserslautern by the Staufers. In addition to a number of other castles, the "Dieburg" in Alsenborn was probably built during this time. Apart from a few hewn stones, nothing remains of the complex itself above ground; the last remains were removed in the 1950s. On the other hand, boundary stones from this period showing the Breidenborn coat of arms have been preserved in the vicinity.
