This is one of over 300 knight's stones of the Palatinate Forest Association. It "points to the path to the castle ruins. [...] The former castle is a two-part complex, consisting of an outer bailey and a main castle. The first documented mention comes from the year 1257. In the late 15th century, the castle probably destroyed.” Source (quoted verbatim): kuladig.de Objektansicht/KLD-290253
