Archaeological research showed that the castle square was already in use in the 10th century. The Romans had already built a permanent fort where only the castle ruins still stand today. The oldest discovered foundations date back to the 12th century, when the castle was used as a residence for the noble family "von Rulant". In the 13th century there was a castle ring, which was surrounded by a moat. A tower already existed in the northwest corner. In the 14th century the Bering was rebuilt and the keep was built.
