In the immediate vicinity of the village is the former Hunolstein Castle , the ancestral seat of the bailiffs and lords of Hunolstein , which was built around 1190.

Originally the residents settled in the village of Lampersberg, which is now only a field name near Hunolstein. The current place was settled around 1525.
In Hunolstein there used to be three mills: the Altmühle (located near today's Reinhardsmühle), the Schülersmühle in Dhronbachtal and the Reinhardsmühle. The Schülersmühle has been documented since 1264, the Reinhardsmühle since 1396.
