At the end of the 13th century, the castle was built by the Münch of Basel (city nobility in the service of the bishop).
In the 15th century, it was expanded under the Reichs to become one of the most beautiful castles in the surrounding area. Despite the beautiful facade, it was given a 5m thick wall to protect it from the Swiss Confederates. The Reichs supported the nearby pilgrimage site (Mariastein). The miracle of Mariastein, for which the chapel was built, is connected to the survival of one of the Reichs' sons from a fall. A picture of this can still be seen in the chapel.
In 1814, Allied troops blew up most of the castle.

Until the early 1980s, the castle was known in the wider area for its Barbary macaques, which were kept there and mostly ran around freely.

In 1648, with the treaty of Munster the emperor of Austria cedes the county of ferrette to the king of France. He himself donates it to his minister Mazarin. Currently, Ferrette's account title is carried by the Prince of Monaco thanks to the marriage in 1777 of his ancestor Grimaldi with heiress of Mazarin
