The castle was erected between Brohl and Niederbreisig by the Palatinate Electors. It was destroyed as early as 1151 by King Konrad III and again in 1282 by Rudolf of Habsburg. Only the 64-foot-high tower and Romanesque chaple remain of the mediaevil construction. In 1832 Joseph Carl von Lassaulx added a new section.
