The castle was first mentioned in 1213 as "castro Weitersheim". In 1334, the Counts of Sponheim (Front County) bought the castle, which has since been renamed Gutenburg. After this purchase, a fundamental reconstruction took place. After the extinction of the Sponheimers (Kreuzenacher line † 1414, Starkenburg line † 1437), the castle reached the front-native locals (mainly Margraviate Baden and Electoral Palatinate). The castle has lost its importance over time, was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War and fell into ruin. In the view in the thesaurus philopoliticus by Daniel Meisner, it is already depicted as a ruin. The ruin is now privately owned.

The castle complex had a core castle that was completely surrounded by a ring kennel, protected by a ring wall with towers and a neck trench. The ruin still shows clear wall remnants today.
