The Eichsfeld municipality of Lengenfeld unterm Stein was first mentioned in a document in 897. The place is in the Romanesque valley of the Frieda in the district of Unstrut Hainich. Well-preserved and restored half-timbered houses characterize the image of the place. This has 3 sights: Bischofstein Castle, the neo-Gothic parish church and the imposing railway viaduct.

The landmark of the valley village of Lengenfeld unterm Stein is the railway viaduct that spans the village. This viaduct is over 125 years old. The motivation for building the viaduct was once strategic considerations, since after the Franco-German War (1870-1871) the newly won areas should be accessible quickly. For this purpose, the so-called "Kanonenbahn" was originally built for military reasons. On the other hand, the then still very wide-meshed railway network with the Leinefelde / Hessen connection was to be further improved.
