The Peasants' War of 1530 left the castle severely damaged, as did the Thirty Years' War. After the last bailiff moved to the Neydecker House in Weismain in 1710, the castle finally stood empty.
In 1747, it was in a state of severe disrepair. The Niesten community attempted to save the castle in 1830. However, demolition continued in 1872. The last major remains of the castle collapsed in 1882.
