The other, neighboring villages were under the lower court of the Knights Hospitaller order house at Leuggern.

After the conquest of the Aargau in 1415, the Herrschaft was held by the district of Leuggern in the County of Baden.

The ownership of the administrative rights of the village wend through about ten changes until 1606 when it was bought by the von Roll family of Uri.

Between 1615-17, they replaced the original castle with a late-Gothic - early Baroque mansion with chapel.

Through marriage, the property came in 1674 to the Schmid family of Bellikon, who ruled over the village until 1798 and occupied the castle until 1893.

Until the late 19th Century the major economic activities were farming, viticulture and handicrafts.

During the late 19th Century, the timber industry grew along the Aare river, which provided many new jobs.

The new jobs along the river allowed the small village of Kleindöttingen to expand rapidly.
