The oldest surviving building remains do not date before 1200. The lords of Waldeck were "grave-like" estate and had earned in the course of the 13th century, a more extensive territory. With the extinction of the lines of those of Waldeck 1417 and 1553, the castle went to Württemberg. The today well-known Waldeck ruin was further developed and inhabited until the 17th century. Presumably, the plant was finally destroyed in 1688 in the Palatinate War of Succession by French troops.
