Its existence can be proven for the 10th century, where drawings on the house wall are the basis, and an old kitchen from around 1000 was uncovered in the cellar. In 1874 part of the castle burned down, which was followed by extensive renovations.
The castle was sold in 2001 to the Rößler family, who completely renovated it and opened a museum in 2003. There are also guest rooms in the castle.
