The castle was built from 1723 to 1728 by Count Ernst Jakob Truchsess von Waldburg-Zeil-Wurzach. The baroque staircase, which is now used as a registry office, is particularly worth seeing. The owner of the castle is the Bad Wurzach Castle Cultural Monument Foundation, which makes the building accessible to the public. A guided tour is offered every Friday at 2:30 p.m.

The castle was built between 1723 and 1728 by Count Ernst Jakob Truchsess von Waldburg-Zeil-Wurzach. For two centuries it was the residence of the Wurzach line of the noble family and developed into a center of courtly music and painting. In 1922 the Salvatorians bought Wurzach Castle and built a Latin school with a boys' boarding school there. Operations began in 1924 and the new school grew very quickly. On November 28, 1937, the Salvator College was prohibited from accepting any more students due to National Socialist education policy. It soon had to cease its school operations and the large building was practically empty. In September 1940, the Biberach Army Base Administration rented the castle for use as a prison camp. From 1940 to 1945 Wurzach Castle was part of the National Socialist camp system as the location of three camps. There was also a so-called military training camp in the castle park. The prisoners in Wurzach were relatively safe. They were liberated by the French army on April 28, 1945.
