The hill fort was mentioned in a document as early as the 12th century. Today's building fabric mainly dates from the end of the 15th century. Around 1970 a Munich property developer acquired the complex and planned the extensive demolition of the ailing monument. Only the original towers would have been preserved, the castle buildings were to be rebuilt as a luxury residential complex. However, the project was prevented by a committed citizens' initiative, which was finally able to secure the purchase of the castle by the Free State of Bavaria in 1976. The Grünwald Castle Museum, a branch museum of the State Archaeological Collection, has been housed here since 1979. The castle can be visited, the ascent to the tower offers a rewarding view of the city and the forest.
