The castle was probably built around the middle of the 13th century by Albert I of Count von Wallenstein (formerly Count vonSchauburg), who had resided at Wallenstein Castle ("Waldinsteyn") six kilometers to the northwest since the beginning of the century, according to which he also called himself since 1233. Both castles were on the road from Hersfeld via Homberg (Efze) and Fritzlar to Kassel.
