Ziegelsdorf Castle, along with the former manor, is believed to have been built around 1234. Over the next 300 years, the farmstead developed into a stately estate with a manor house.
In 1682, the noble Völderndorff-Waradein family, who had immigrated from Austria, acquired the property, which remained in their possession until the end of the 18th century.
After the death of August Johann Christoph von Völderndorff-Waradein in 1788 and his widow two years later, Carl Ernst Christian von Tritschler and a woman von Seebach took over the property. After Tritschler's unsuccessful attempt in 1790 to take out another mortgage on the indebted estate, he left it to his co-heir, who transferred the property to her brother, Hans Carl Heinrich von Seebach.
Around 1850, the conversion of the old manor house into a castle in the neo-Gothic style began. The last Baron von Seebach at Ziegelsdorf Castle, Hans Georg Friedrich Werner, died in 1895 and was buried in the mausoleum built during his lifetime not far from the castle. The Baron bequeathed the castle and estate to his caretaker, Ida Fries.
In 1937, the farmer Wilhelm Treiber acquired the entire property.
The Knights' Hall is now used as a wedding hall by the registry office of the municipality of Untersiemau.
