The castle was built in the 15th or 16th century as a moated castle with a moat, probably under the Lords of Gültlingen, who were holders of the Württemberg fiefdom at that time. The castle was originally a four-wing complex with an enclosed courtyard, the plastered main building of which faced northwest. The castle also had a park, the remains of which still exist today. In the late 17th century, several farm buildings were built on the road leading to the castle, such as: B. a fruit box, a bakery, and the massive, plastered office building. In 1640 the castle was sold to the Bernerdin family of Carinthia, who owned the complex for a long time. From 1782 the castle belonged to Franziska von Hohenheim, née von Bernerdin and later wife of Duke Karl Eugen of Württemberg. They made structural changes to the building and spent the summer months in the castle after Karl Eugen's death. In 1812 the site was sold to the Princess of Colloredo, and in 1840 the castle went to the Royal Court Domain Chamber. In 1848 the transverse building, which ran parallel to the main building, and the west wing were demolished. The west wing was replaced by a utility building.
Today there is a hotel, a restaurant and a riding facility in the castle.
