The moated castle of Würting was first mentioned in documents as early as 814 as a Romanesque farm, and is therefore the first documented reference to the community of Offenhausen. The owners of the moated castle have always been the determining force for the market town of Offenhausen. After an eventful history, the area went to Jörg Perkheimer in 1455, who had today's moated castle built from 1462. It is also thanks to the people of Perkheim that Offenhausen received market rights in 1534.

After a few changes of ownership in the 17th and 19th centuries, the castle was in a pitiable condition when it was sold again in 1921. The new owner Heinrich Gutman therefore had the castle completely renovated and refurbished. During the Nazi era, Würting was an SA school, and the valuable facility disappeared at that time. After the end of World War II, refugees were billeted until 1952, when the Gutman family returned the property. However, the decay was already far advanced, and so the castle changed hands several times until 1975, when it was finally bought by the paleontologist Dr. Schaffer was bought. It now houses his collection. Unfortunately, Dr. Schaffer did not manage to stop the decay, and so the castle, which is not open to the public, is still left to decay today.
