It was first mentioned in documents in the 12th century. It served as a castle of the governors of Weida and Plauen. Together with the lower castle, it later belonged to the Reussian lines that dominated eastern Thuringia between Gera and Plauen. After the reunification they started to renovate the castle and unfortunately it is not finished yet.
