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).

Hunolstein Castle is the ruins of a hilltop castle at 395 m above sea level. NN in the district of Hunolstein in the municipality of Morbach in the Hunsrück. It is the former seat of the Hunolstein bailiffs and, according to legend, the seat of the Nibelung Hunold. The castle dates from the 12th century. It was conquered by Franz von Sickingen in 1522 and damaged so badly during the Thirty Years' War that it had to be abandoned in 1637. A round corner tower and remains of the surrounding walls have been preserved. The facility is around 40 meters long and is surrounded by a 1.30 meter thick curtain wall, which is up to eight meters high on the south side. The donjon used to stand on a quartzite rock, of which an approximately three meter high square wall remnant has been preserved. From there there is a view to the west into the valley of the Dhron or to the north to the Haardtkopf (658 m) near Gornhausen.
