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.

From 1315 it was built by Archbishop Baldwin of Trier to secure the electorate of Trier. The castle was primarily aimed against the Counts of Sponheim. The counts were rival territorial lords of Trier in this area. In 1332, Balduin received city rights for a settlement near Baldenau from Emperor Ludwig in a collective privilege; in the end, however, such a founding never came about. The castle gave its name to the electoral office of Baldenau, which included fifteen surrounding villages. Two bailiffs, Rulmann von Partenheim and Clas von Nattenheim, have survived in the 15th century. Also in the 15th century, the castle and office were pledged to nobles, an indication of the low importance of the castle at that time. After being damaged several times during the Thirty Years' War, it was repaired as early as 1649, but was finally permanently destroyed in 1689 during the Palatinate War of Succession by French troops under Louis XIV. from 1982 the ruins were secured. In 1981 and 1982, the ruin served as the setting for the first part of Edgar Reitz's Heimat trilogy.
