Originally fortified with a wide moat, the fortified complex was a strategically important border fortress against the constant threat from the east.

The castle became state property and has been owned by the market town of Burgau since 1871.

In recent years, the castle, the inner courtyard, and the outer bailey with its round tower have been restored. The round tower houses the municipal office and a castle café; the outer bailey contains apartments; the cellar of the main castle features a beautiful brick vault and is used for various club events.
