The castle is located on the eastern edge of the town and was built between 1728 and 1731 for the Electoral Palatinate Chancellor Baron Jakob Tillmann von Hallberg [de] from the House of Hallberg [de].

[1] From 1788 to 1792, Heinrich Theodor von Hallberg (1725–1792), Electoral Palatinate-Bavarian envoy in Vienna, was the lord of the castle.

Among other things, the castle housed a cigar factory, a prisoner of war camp and a Raiffeisen magazine .

In 1972 the castle was acquired by the Catholic parish of Fußgönheim and restored at great expense.

A large church room was set up in the formerly profane middle section and partly equipped with baroque inventory.
