Argenschwang Castle (Rosenburg) ruins
Highlight • Castle
Argenschwang Castle was first reliably mentioned on June 19, 1332.
At that time, the castle complex was owned by Count Johann II von Sponheim-Kreuznach, who lent the castle to his illegitimate son Simon von Argenschwang. In 1416, the lords of Leyen were enfeoffed with the castle, and one fifth of the complex was passed on to Count Palatine Ludwig III by Countess Elisabeth von Sponheim-Vianden. the bearded one.
After the Counts of Sponheim died out in 1437, Argenschwang Castle came into the possession of several owners, the heirs of the Sponheimers
The castle was destroyed in the First Coalition War in 1793, and later it was auctioned off as a French national property during the 19th century. In 1929 there were plans to rebuild the facility, but these were not put into practice. In 1977 it was sold to private owners. The castle ruins are not open to the public.

Former Jewish synagogue
Highlight • Religious Site
The two-story half-timbered house with rectangular windows was bought by the Jewish community in the 18th century in order to set up a synagogue after the building was expanded. The prayer room was on the upper floor. The women's area was separated by a privacy screen. The prayer room had a vaulted wooden ceiling that was painted with a starry sky.
The interior was probably devastated and damaged during the November pogrom in 1938. In August 1939, a farmer bought the building, which in 1950 was returned to the Jewish community of Bad Kreuznach / Birkenfeld, which later sold it.
In 1980 the outside of the building was repaired. The current owner has renovated the building in an exemplary manner in recent years.

Argenschwang Protestant Church
Highlight • Religious Site
The village also benefited from this. You can still see the former synagogue and several old houses from the 18th century. And of course the church. The neo-Gothic quarry stone building was completed in 1883 and is well worth a visit. Despite the renovations that have taken place in the meantime, the interior and exterior of the church have been largely preserved and can therefore be viewed in their original state today.
