Nothing is known about the early history of the castle complex. According to a document from the early 13th century that has since been recognized as forged, Hallgraf Engelbert von Attel moved his ancestral seat from Limburg Castle to his moated castle, which already existed at the time, in the middle of the 12th century. The previous building of the castle chapel was mentioned in 1137. In 1247, after a 17-week siege, the castle and town of Wasserburg were conquered by the duke's son Ludwig (later Ludwig II the Strict). Since then, Wasserburg Wittelsbacher owned.
