Remigiusberg

Priory church – a predecessor castle from the 11th century had to give way in 1127 to the construction of an abbey. It was a branch of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Remi in Reims and was consecrated to Saint Remigius. Both the priory church and the local area were named after Remigius, even though the saint, who lived in the 5th and 6th centuries, had never visited the area^[1] The monastery existed until 1526, when it was dissolved in the wake of the Reformation.^[2] The bones of 15 members of the House of Palatinate-Veldenz (County of Veldenz) rest in the priory church.

Michelsburg – In 1260, a second castle was built near the abbey which took its name from the patron saint of the castle chapel, St. Michael and which, today, is a ruin. The castle belonged initially to the County of Veldenz, later to the Wittelsbach Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken. The castle was badly damaged both during the Thirty Years' War and in the War of the Palatine Succession. After it had been finally laid to waste in the 1790s by French Revolutionary troops, in 1794 permission was granted to use it as a quarry. In 1973/74, restoration work was carried out.^[3]
