    900 years look down on you from the Romanesque church towers. The church and the entire complex are very impressive. In 2019 the dormitory of the social welfare organization was demolished so that the facility and the view of the Hunsrück Cathedral will be even more impressive in the future.

    The place owes its name to the noble Rabangar, who built a castle on the steep rock above the Simmerbach in the 10th century. A castle chapel was consecrated in 1072, and two years later Count Berthold and his wife Hedwig founded an Augustinian canons' monastery. The monastery existed until 1566. Then the rich property was transferred to Palatinate administration. The church has been a Catholic parish since 1699. The monastery buildings were taken over by missionaries of the Holy Family in 1920, who set up a theological college.
