In 1263, the Landgraves of Leuchtenberg donated the original castle to the Waldsassen monastery. The complex has been described several times as a joint heir's castle. The abbots of Waldsassen accepted claims from Friedrich von Waldershof in 1280 and from Friedrich Freiterspeck von Bibra in 1335. In the following period, the castle was pledged to the Hirschberg family, among others. In 1471, it was expanded into a palace. Until secularization in 1803, the palace was a judge's residence.
