According to tradition, the former knight's castle was built around 1320. At that time, the surrounding area belonged to the Lords of Lobdaburg-Elsterberg.

The castle was likely damaged by fire during the Thirty Years' War. Reconstruction was completed in 1643.

.... In 1904, the Völkel family became owners of the complex and subsequently built the estate park, which served as a family recreation area and included a bathhouse and a tennis court.

From 1947 to 1973, the castle served as a school.

The listed building was almost completely demolished between 1993 and 1998 and, like the small round tower, rebuilt in the original style.

Today, it houses a hotel and a restaurant.

Since 2006, a medieval spectacle has been held annually around the castle.

From here you can walk very nicely to the Barthmühle and the Pöhl dam
