Hardheim Castle was built in 1561 by Junker Wolf von Hardheim and his wife Margareta von Berlichingen, as stated in an inscription above the entrance portal. The master builder was Urban Khaltschmid von Lindau. In 1858, the municipality of Hardheim acquired it from the Grand Duchy of Baden. In the same year, it was converted into an elementary school (Sunday school) with a teacher's apartment. It was also used for church purposes. In 1929, the municipal administration moved its headquarters from the town hall on the market square to the castle.

The 16th-century Renaissance palace is now Hardheim's town hall. Formerly surrounded by a moat, the castle moat now houses a small alpine garden.
