Paul Camille Denis built the villa at the foot of the ruins of the castle Diemerstein in Diemerstein, a district of Frankenstein in the Palatinate Forest, less than a kilometer from Frankenstein (Palatinate) station, at the Pfälzischen Ludwigsbahn built by him. In 2001, the villa was sold to a private individual, who in turn sold it to the Foundation for the University of Kaiserslautern in 2007. This uses them as a conference center.
