The hilltop castle was built in the 11th century on the remains of an older castle complex. In the 12th century it was destroyed in a battle, but rebuilt. It was owned by the Knights of Stecklenberg, mentioned in the 12th and 13th centuries, whose descendants probably emigrated to the Baltic States, where Henricus de Stackelberg is first mentioned in Riga in 1306. The new owner of Stecklenburg Castle was the monastery in Halberstadt in 1281.
The Stecklenburg Castle was inhabited until the beginning of the 18th century. After that, some of the castle buildings, such as the brewery and the castle chapel, were demolished. It became a complete ruin and served as a quarry. It was saved from complete destruction by the objection of the then head forester of Thale, who was committed to preserving the building.
