The castle was built between 1570 and 1574 by Hans Jakob von Schönau and his son Hans Rudolf. It served as the residence of the noble family, later as an official residence and as a mill. In 1901 it became the property of the paper manufacturer Lenz, who sold it to the town of Wehr in 1971. Extensively renovated from 1975 to 1977, it now serves the town administration. The town gallery is located on the top floor. The history of the Lords of Schönau is documented in the corridors of the Old Castle.
