The original first castle Hohennagold was built by the Counts of Nagold (since 1145 Count Palatine of Tübingen) around 1100. From 1153 to 1162 the castle complex was greatly expanded.In the middle of the 13th century the castle passed to the counts of Hohenberg. A branch of this family was called Count von Nagold in the future and built the castle in the 13th and 14th centuries to the residence.In 1363 they sold the castle to the Counts of Württemberg, which supplemented the complex, especially in the 15th century, with the bastions and corner towers around the outermost Zwinger, and occupied the castle with its servants. In 1645/46 during the Thirty Years' War the castle was destroyed.
