The castle was probably built in the 10th century as the seat of the Lords Fraß, who are said to have distinguished themselves in the Battle of Lechfeld (955). This family of servants to the bishops of Augsburg later called themselves "von Wolfsperch" (1233) after the castle and had a wolf in their coat of arms.
The earthworks and remains of the large keep have survived from the high medieval castle complex.
