The castle dates back to the 13th century, has changed hands several times and has been abandoned and uninhabitable since 1645. It fell into disrepair and was often used as a quarry.
When work began to rebuild the castle in the autumn of 1933, it was nothing more than a meager and dilapidated ruin. Generous donations provided the financial means to rebuild it in 1934 and 1935 using plans by the castle builder Eugen Probst through a voluntary work service of unemployed young people.

Although no longer in the original: the restoration for the sake of young people was a great thing!
