Human settlement in this area is traced as far back as the late Stone Age, and discoveries indicate Roman activities here as well. In 1318 the castle was sold, along with the adjacent town of Leutershausen, by the owner Earl Friedrich von Truhendingen to his uncle, Friedrich IV von Hohenzollern. The castle was never conquered, nor apparently had it ever suffered serious damage. As a result of this good fortune in its early history and the good luck to have been acquired by Hans Unbehauen, the master mason that saw to its preservation in 1964, the castle is in remarkable condition.
Inside there are historical displays reflecting the castles past and also an interesting display of East Asian objects of art collected by one of the former owners of the castle.
