The Löwenburg was first mentioned in a document in 1115, when Gerhard von Blankenheim moved his seat of power to Gerhardstein Castle, which he had built (which is probably where the place name of Gerolstein derives from). In the 13th century, Gerhard IV expanded the castle into a fortified castle with a front and back castle.
