The castle was built around 1240 to monitor a nearby military road by the Counts of Veldenz, who appointed Eberhard von Lautern as a lieutenant.

Until 1432 the castle remained in the possession of the von Lautern family, who from 1247 had been called "von Montfort".

In the 15th century, the residents of the Ganerbeburg were sometimes robber barons. In 1456 the troops of the Archbishop of Mainz Diether von Mainz and the Elector Friedrich I of the Palatinate conquered the castle complex and destroyed it.
