1368 First historically known naming of Weingartsgreuth
1574 Georg Marschalk von Ebneth, Bishop of Bamberg councilor and bailiff, acquires the Weingartsgreuth manor and builds the first castle.
1705 The castle in its current baroque form began on parts of the previous building. The builder is unknown. In professional circles, the castle is known as Franconia's "baroque dresser" because of its original shape.
1726 By marriage, the palace and estate come into the possession of the barons of Seckendorff-Aberdar and are still lived in and managed by the family today.
