The castle was probably built around 1100 by the Lords of Amberg mentioned in 1144 and extinct in the 14th century. In the 14th century, the lords of Raigering were named as owners and later the city of Amberg. The chronicler Michael Schwaiger called the rectangular keep in 1564 as a "watchtower" and reported that the moat and ancient remains were still visible.
