A knight Boppo von Tuchenze was mentioned in a document in 1288 as the owner of a fortified farm north of the village pond. In the middle of the 14th century, the Barons of Redwitz expanded the courtyard into a moated castle.

Archaeological excavations conducted by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments have revealed at least five construction phases of the palace complex. The central building is a residential tower from the 14th century, which overlays an older wall. The residential tower had an area of 11 × 12 meters and consisted of sandstone blocks. The excavations brought further foundations of younger extensions to light.

In the Peasants' War of 1525, the moated castle was destroyed and rebuilt in an expanded manner. In 1531, Daniel, Christoph, Wolfram and Emmeran von Redwitz gave their possessions to the Bishopric of Bamberg as a fief. In 1626 the bishopric gave the fief back to Veit von Redwitz, who immediately sold the property to Hans Heinrich von Künsberg, who made a few extensions. Six years later, the castle was finally destroyed by stragglers from the Thirty Years' War.
