It was created as a moated castle on a mound directly on the Morre. The "Veste" was built around 1347 by the Vogtsherren of the village.

A striking testimony to the history of Hettigenbeuern is the three-storey residential tower with a hipped roof, the so-called idol tower. It was built as a moated castle on an embankment directly on the Morre.
The “Veste” was built around 1347 by the bailiffs of the village. These were those of Adelsheim, who had to surrender their rights to Hettigenbeuern to the Hochstift Würzburg in 1347 after an unfortunate feud. In 1440/45 the von Berlichingen acquired one, in 1570 also the other half of the property in Hettigenbeuern and held it until mediatization by the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1806.

The archive files often refer to the castle of Hettigenbeuern, meaning the "Götzenturm", which is still preserved as a landmark of Hettigenbeuern. Already in the middle of the 14th century, the local and landlords of Hettigenbeuern built a residential and weir customs tower. This was surrounded by a moat and a wall and served to defend the Morretal. At the beginning of the 19th century, the idol tower came into the possession of the community and served as a poor house from 1862. It was completely renovated in 1979/80. It houses the local administration and the premises of the local associations.
