    The castle was the property of imperial knights, and its first documented mention dates back to 1244.[1] Previously, the Lords of Hornstein, mentioned as early as the 11th century, probably resided in a castle in the Hornstein area.

    As the ancestral seat of the noble family of the same name, the von Hornsteins, the castle underwent several construction phases until it was converted into a stately Baroque palace around 1700. In 1787, the Hornsteins sold their property to the Princes of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.
