The castle in the south-west of the town was probably built on the site of an older castle that had been removed, since there is documentary evidence of this, but no structural traces. The new building of the castle falls within a few years after Christoph Ferdinand I. von Degenfeld (1699-1766) was able to unite the previously fragmented possessions of Degenfeld-Neuhaus. In the 1760s there were numerous negotiations between the impoverished community and the autocratic local rulers who, after the death of Christoph Ferdinand I, were taken over by his three sons Reinhard Philipp Friedrich (1722-1784), Christoph Eberhardt Friedrich (1737-1792) and Christoph Ferdinand III. Friedrich (1739-1812) was continued no less autocratically.

After the impoverished citizens even rebelled in 1768, the rebels had to pay high fines, most of which probably went into the construction of the castle in 1769. Before 1793 a major fire is said to have occurred at the castle.[2] The castle remained in the possession of the von Degenfeld-Neuhaus family until the male line died out in 1921. After that it came into the possession of the Barons Thumb von Neuburg through inheritance.
