[1] Untersulmetingen Castle is a plain, three-storey building, covered by a large gabled roof which dates from around 1600.

On the death of Georg von Sulmetingen in 1528, the indigenous local nobility became extinct, after which the castle and the village repeatedly changed hands.

Between 1538 and 1542, Hieronymus Roth von Schreckenstein, a patrician from Ulm, had a new castle built on the foundations of the previous one, destroyed during the Peasants' War.

[9] In 1803, after the dissolution of the monasteries during the secularisation, the castle went into the hands of Georg Karl von Metternich-Winneburg und Beilstein as compensation for territories lost to France following Napoleon's conquests.

Karl Anselm von Thurn und Taxis remained lord of the castle until the feudal tenure was abolished later on.
