Schloss Allenbach is, alongside Burg Eltz and Schloss Gemünden, the only inhabited castle from the Middle Ages in the Hunsrück region. Today, it is a protected monument.
Allenbach was a thriving industrial town from the Middle Ages until the end of the 19th century. Two copper smelters have been documented since 1400 and 1450, respectively. They were supplied with ores from the Hosenbachtal near Fischbach and smelted for both the Counts of Sponheim and the Rhine and Wild Counts.
