The castle Alt-Eberstein , the ancestral castle of the County of Eberstein, was formative and eponymous . Around the year 1100 the Counts of Eberstein lived there and built a castle on a hilltop, which is in front of the local Schlossberg to the north. Of these, only the keep and a shield wall are left today.
The village itself is located south of the Alt-Eberstein castle ruins . After the castle fell, it was used as a quarry for the village.
