The castle building, which is located directly on Burgwindheimer Hauptstrasse and still characterizes the appearance of the town today, was formerly (18th century) an official castle of the Ebrach monastery.

The baroque castle was built between 1720 and 1728 and served as the former administrative court of the neighboring Cistercian monastery. It thus expresses the cultural and economic importance of the place.
