The estate, which was essentially built in the 15th and 16th centuries by the Nuremberg patrician families Waldstromer / Pfinzing / Tetzel, has, in addition to its architectural importance, a special status as the place where the space museum was founded. The museum was established here in 1971 and has since moved to the neighboring outbuildings. The Pfinzingschloss is a stop on the Drei-Schlösser Rundweg through Feucht.

Although it has been assumed at this point already assumed for the 13th century ministerial seat, but the Pfinzingschloss has only been proven since the 15th century. 1469, the residence of Ludwig Pfinzing was called when he sold his Feuchte goods to the imperial city of Nuremberg. The Nuremberg patrician had acquired the goods by marrying a Waldstromerin in 1455. The family of Waldstromer, who temporarily held the Reichs-Forstmeister, had already brought several moist goods in the 14th century.

The Pfinzing Castle was built by Ludwig Pfinzing around 1460 as a defense structure with a moat. After it burned down in 1552, the patrician family Georg Tetzel rebuilt it in its current form in 1562. In 1943, Professor Hermann Oberth, a well-known space pioneer, acquired the castle. In 1988 it was sold to the market town of Feucht, which had a renovation carried out immediately afterwards.
