At the end of the 16th century, Johannes von Mettenwyl acquired the complex and rebuilt it, retaining only the tower from the original castle.

In 1750 it was rebuilt to its current appearance under the "Meyer von Schauensee" family.

The municipality of Kriens was able to acquire the "Schlössli" in 1963.

Today, the castle is used for cultural events and as a reception hall.
