The castle was built between 1883 and 1885 by the pencil manufacturer Lothar von Faber (1817-1896) and his wife Ottilie from Stein in the district of Fürth. The stone facades of the two-storey manor house are decorated with neo-Renaissance stylistic devices. The outward appearance is characterized above all by the tower towering at the southeast corner round tower with projecting open Kranzgeschoss and round stair towers.
