Falkenstein Castle was the center of a domain called Falkenstein in the mid-12th century. The castle site consisted of an inner castle on the rock. The outer castle was rebuilt in the mid-15th century; parts of it still exist and belong to the Falkenstein domain. The castle complex was partially destroyed in the Thirty Years' War in 1634; further parts were demolished in 1740 and again in 1818. Today, a small part of this former fortress still stands.
