The construction of today's hunting lodge began around 1600. The clients were Count Gottfried von Oettingen-Oettingen and Count Wilhelm II von Oettingen-Wallerstein, the builders were Peter and Hans Alberthal. After the Battle of Nördlingen in 1634, the castle was repeatedly plundered by scattered soldiers. The last prince of the Protestant line Oettingen-Oettingen sold the castle to Count Franz Albrecht zu Oettingen-Spielberg towards the end of the 17th century. The new castle owner had the castle expanded and the Marienkapelle built in 1692. The patronage box in the church is accessible from the castle via a connecting passage. From around 1700 to 1846 the village children were taught in the castle. After the Second World War it was used as a warehouse. In 1978 the building was extensively renovated.

Hirschbrunn Palace is owned by the von Oettingen-Spielberg family and is not open to the public. Only the castle chapel can be visited.
