The castle complex has its origins in a castle that was built as a base for the colonization of the Pleißenland between 1165 and 1172. From this founding phase, the lower part of the keep, made of dark humpback blocks, has been preserved to this day.
In connection with the Civil Revolution, the Renaissance castle was looted and completely burned down by angry demonstrators on April 5, 1848.

Waldenburg Castle received its current appearance through an extensive renovation under Prince Otto Victor II of Schönburg-Waldenburg (1882–1914) between 1909 and 1912.
Under the overall construction management of the Royal Saxon Court Building Councilor Gustav Frölich (1859–1933), parts of the building from the 19th century were gutted and all rooms and their functions were rearranged according to contemporary requirements. Technically, Gustav Frölich equipped the castle with the most modern achievements for the period around 1910, such as complete electrification, telephone, central steam heating, hot water system, complex ventilation, dumbwaiter, separate fire water pipe and central vacuum cleaner system.
