The Friedrichsbühl hunting lodge (also Neuhaus Bellheim ) north of Bellheim was built in 1552 by Elector Friedrich II of the Palatinate as a Renaissance building. During the Thirty Years' War the castle , which was last used as a stud , was abandoned. After being destroyed twice in 1627 and 1674, the ruins were sold for demolition around 1725.

The moat has been preserved at the original location of the castle, a memorial stone and an information board indicate the castle. The renaissance portal of the castle served as the portal of the Nikolauskirche in Bellheim until 1897; today it is in the Palatinate History Museum in Speyer.
