The romantic castle ruin is located in a side valley near Frankenstein. 

The romantic castle ruin is located in a side valley near Frankenstein. The exact date and the name of the builder are unknown. In 1216, Rudiger von Dimarstein is mentioned for the first time as a nobleman who named himself after the castle.
The castle was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War and was not rebuilt. In the middle of the 19th century, Paul von Denis had security work carried out on the ruins and a landscape garden laid out when the villa was built below the castle hill, but this is only recognizable in rudimentary form.
