In the thirteenth century the owners of the castle were the Counts of Oettingen.
Shortly after this purchase the castle was burnt down during the Peasants' revolt.
The rebellious peasants had to pay 5000 Gulden for the rebuilding of the castle.
After heavy damage in 1777 by a strike of lightning the castle was left in disrepair.
