The castle was most likely built by Nickel von Zedlitz the Younger in the 1460s. It was built of hewn stone on a small hill. It was surrounded by an earthen rampart and a double moat, the outer moat filled with mud, which gave it the nickname of the Mud Castle. Abandoned in the 18th century, it fell into ruin. Today, there is not much to see here. The entire castle is tightly overgrown, and access to it is still blocked by a moat filled with water.
