Count Folman II of Blieskastel had Hunolstein Castle built in 1192. Hugo, Vogt of Hunolstein, was the first to live there. His descendants remained at Hunolstein Castle until 1487, after which it fell into the possession of the Archbishopric of Trier and was administered by an electoral bailiff. When Franz von Sickingen unsuccessfully besieged the city of Trier in 1522, he also raided and plundered Hunolstein Castle. The castle was destroyed after the Thirty Years' War, presumably by the French in 1689. The stones of the remaining walls were used to build the village of Hunolstein. Today, the castle is owned by the municipality of Morbach, which has secured the ruins and expanded the inner courtyard in recent years (see the information panel at the entrance to the castle ruins).
