The castle type is a spur / hilltop castle. The Hurwang Castle was built in 1100n. BC on the lost place the Furtheim was built. The client was probably the feudal lord Count von Dillingen.
In documents from the Steinheim monastery, Furtheim is mentioned in 1209 by the forester Ulricus von Furtheim.
Nothing is mentioned about the destruction of the castle.
However, there is a connection that the Herwartstein Castle Königsbronn and Castle Hurwang were also destroyed by Rudolf von Habsburg in 1287.
