The fortress was built between 1070 and 1090 by Duke Berthold II of Zähringen. In the 13th century, it was expanded into a fortified curtain wall castle with several residential towers. After severe damage in the succession wars at the end of the 17th century, it fell into disrepair and was officially declared a ruin in 1731. Today, the complex is privately owned by the von Schauenburg family.
