It initially belonged to the Counts of Weimar-Orlamünde, but they lost them to the Wettin landgraves of Thuringia in the Thuringian War of Counts (1342/1345). Landgrave Friedrich II pledged the castle to his court judge Christian von Witzleben († 1374). This was the reason for the expansion. The oldest part of the castle with defiant walls and towers is in front of the west wing, here you can also see the remains of a Romanesque chapel.
