    At the current location of the Aufhausener Mühle there used to be a moated castle. This castle (or fortress) was first mentioned in 1143. In 1449 the fortress was destroyed in the South German City War. It was also mentioned in 1463 as a "broken lock".
    The floor plan of the castle was square and of Hohenstaufen origin. The castle was owned by the Lords of Oettingen and the Lords of Helfenstein, among others.
    A few sparse remains of the wall can still be found in the mill building.
