The site has been known as an estate since the 15th century. In 1457 it belonged to Duke Ludwig of Bavaria, then to various Nuremberg patrician families. The present castle was built around 1760 by the Allersberg factory owner Jacob Gilardi and served his family as a summer residence.

In 1889 it was acquired by the pencil manufacturer Lothar von Faber and is still owned by the Faber-Castell family to this day.
