Spielberg Castle belonged to the castle system of the Counts of Truhendingen in the 12th and 13th centuries. After their extinction, it came to the Counts of Oettingen in 1363 and later became the headquarters of the Oettingen-Spielberg line, which was ruled in 1734.
The impressive, ring-shaped complex from around 1400 was rebuilt several times, most recently by the Steinacker family of artists, who took over Spielberg Castle in 1983 and built a museum for contemporary art.
