At the site where Spetzgart Castle now stands, there was a Staufer castle built around 1200. In 1503, the ruined castle was rebuilt and the palace built. During the Thirty Years' War, it was destroyed again by Swedish troops in 1634 and by French troops in 1643. It was rebuilt in its current form in 1671 under Abbot Konrad Kneer of Obermarchtal. Between 1747 and 1749, the property was given a baroque makeover. Today, the palace belongs to the Salem School and is not open to the public.
