The village was heavily damaged during World War II but has since been completely rebuilt. Dudeldorf Castle is the main attraction in the village. Originally consisting of two castles built in the 12th century, it has since been rebuilt many times. It now serves as a function and community center. The surrounding countryside also makes Dudeldorf a popular holiday destination for tourists.
