    The complex was probably built at the beginning of the 13th century as a stronghold of the princes of Anhalt against the Nienburg monastery. A first documented mention comes from the year 1326 as Slot tho Hazekerode. 1398 mortgaged Count Otto III. von Anhalt gave the castle and his share in the town of Harzgerode to Count Günther von Mansfeld for 400 shock groschen, who passed on the pledged property in the same year. In 1413 it was pledged together with the towns of Harzgerode and Güntersberge for 10,500 Rhenish guilders to the Wettin dynasty, who soon passed it on. It was not until 1536 that the princes of Anhalt were able to release the Harzgeröder and Güntersberg area from the pledge by paying 19,850 guilders to Count Botho the Blessed of Stolberg.
