Ravengiersburg is home to the Hunsrückdom – the “Hunsrück Cathedral” – the former resident canonical foundation's church.

The name comes from Count Rabangar, who in his time built a castle on the steep crags overlooking the Simmerbach.

In the document dealing with land donations to the monastery, the name Hunsruche – Hunsrück – is mentioned for the first time.

In 1631, a definitive end was put to the Ravengiersburg Monastery in the Thirty Years' War when Swedish troops came and burnt it down.

Until 2006, the Katholische Arbeitnehmer-Bewegung (KAB; “Catholic Employees’ Movement”) ran a great professional training operation in the monastery buildings.
