The Michelsburg Castle and the neighboring former provost church of St. Remigius on the Remigiusberg near Haschbach, in the center of the Glan Valley, are the historical heart of the Remigiusland region. The first documented mention of an illegally built hilltop castle dates back to 1127, when Benedictine monks purchased it from a knight named Adelbert. The monks used the stones of the former castle to build the Benedictine provost church of St. Remigi, the remnant of which is the Remigius Church. Count Henry II of Zweibrücken built a second castle out of wood in 1260 – during the inheritance disputes of the counts of Veldenz – after the first male line of counts of Veldenz had died out in 1259. This castle was later expanded and furnished with stone, and a chapel (dedicated to St. Michael) was built inside. In 1543, Count Palatine Rupert of Veldenz made the castle his secondary residence and had a princely crypt built in the provost church. Little is known about what happened to the castle in later centuries, but it was reportedly still intact in 1708 and changed hands several times. In 1868, it came into the possession of the St. Remigiusberg Catholic Church Foundation. Today, the 20-meter-high shield wall, remnants of the palace, the curtain wall, and the moat are preserved.

About one kilometer north of Wolfstein is the Alt-Wolfstein castle ruin, also known as the "Old Castle". A walk there is worthwhile if only because of the wonderful view that you have from the 20 meter high, five-sided keep over the Lautertal. The castle is said to have been built in the 12th century to administer and secure the kingdom. At the end of the 13th century the Counts of Sponheim sat here; they were followed as owners by Veldenz, Baden and Pfalz-Zweibrücken. In the Bavarian-Palatinate War of Succession, the fate of the castle was finally sealed in 1504. It is interesting that during excavations between 1960 and 1975, an extensive lower castle was found next to the small main castle.
