Battenberg Castle probably originally served to protect the Murbach fiefdom, which included the towns of Kleinkarlbach, Bobenheim/Berg and Weisenheim/Berg. It was first mentioned in 1359 in connection with the Counts of Leiningen. It is assumed that the castle was built around 1240 by Count Friedrich III of Leiningen at almost the same time as Neuleiningen Castle. The ring wall has been preserved, on the south side there is a gun tower, probably from the 16th century, and on the north corner a remnant of the gatehouse. At the back of this there is a small residential building from the 18th or early 19th century, on the east side there is a substructure of the residential building with a high vaulted cellar and a stair tower in the middle of the courtyard, which was converted into a garden pavilion with an iron staircase and balcony in the 19th century.

Ruin of a former mountain castle, which is located on the same local church. The Burgschänke is surrounded by a tastefully landscaped garden. The viewpoints are partially accessible.
