South of the summit of the Remigiusberg, the Landesstraße 362 runs from west to east connecting Haschbach and Theisbergstegen.

Both the priory church and the local area were named after Remigius, even though the saint, who lived in the 5th and 6th centuries, had never visited the area[1] Das Kloster bestand bis zum Jahr 1526, als es im Gefolge der Reformation aufgelöst wurde.

[2] The bones of 15 members of the House of Palatinate-Veldenz (County of Veldenz) rest in the priory church.

The castle belonged initially to the County of Veldenz, later to the Wittelsbach Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken.

After it had been finally laid to waste in the 1790s by French Revolutionary troops, in 1794 permission was granted to use it as a quarry.
