The castle was built by the ministerial family, the governors of Plauen, belonged as the nearby castle Planschwitz to the sovereign castles, and was first mentioned in 1327 as "munitio lapis" in the possession of Heinrich von Machwitz, who secured the sovereignty on behalf of the governors ,

In the following years, the castle lost its importance as a border fortification. In 1358 it gained in value after the loss of the southern Vogtland to the Wettin and was expanded again in the early 15th century until it finally lost its military significance at the end of the 15th century. In 1519 she was loaned by Duke Johann of Saxony to the brothers of Zedtwitz. Until the 18th century, the castle was inhabited and operated the farm yard as Vorwerk.
