The castle was built in 1340 by King John of Bohemia, Count of Luxembourg to fortify its borders. But already in 1346 the castle fell into the hands of the Elector of Trier. The castle is abandoned in the second half of the 15th century.

Between 1984 and 1985 is the castle (protection of monuments) renovated.

Vulkan Goldberg

The quaternary volcano Goldberg, northeast of the municipality Ormont, is the northwesternmost foothill of the quaternary volcanic field in the Westeifel. The volcano is 649.1 meters above normal zero. The Goldberg was formed about 10 to 11,000 years ago in two eruptions. First, a large ash cone was formed. The second eruption phase began after a short time, which at first exploded the top of the old cinder cone with a strong explosion. Then again a cinder cone was built up on the leftovers and the activity ceased after a certain time.
