The former administrative and moated castle of the Electorate of Mainz was first mentioned in 1112 as "Moseburg." In the Middle Ages, an "Amtmann" (administrator) resided there, who from 1417 also held the office of "Landschreiber" (land clerk) concurrently. From the 16th century, it housed an administrative cellarer. It also served as a temporary residence for the Archbishops of Mainz. The castle's expansion into a "palace" occurred gradually, particularly in the 15th century, promoted by Elector-Archbishop Dietrich Schenk von Erbach, who frequently stayed at the castle and issued documents there. During the French occupation (1792/1797–1815), the administration demolished the fortified sections in 1803. The habitable parts of the building were acquired during the national property auction by the Sala, Bob, von Horix, and Appiano families, who supported the new regime. ] In 1828, tax collector Ludwig Jonas became the owner of the building and its grounds, which he attempted to transform into a castle-like setting. Around the turn of the century, the former Jonas estate was considered for municipal use, but in 1894 it was purchased and modernized by banker Franz-Josef Hassemer (born October 30, 1840, in Gau-Algesheim; died December 27, 1909, in Kreuznach), who had been the owner of the Banca Nationale in Rome since 1870. On October 6, 1911, Franz-Josef Hassemer's widow (represented by Jacob Alexander Weiner of Kreuznach, agent of the Königsbacher Brewery, Koblenz) sold the castle to Count Hermann von Bocholtz-Meschede (represented by Gustav Rading of Wesel). ] July 25, 1917: Following the death of Count Hermann von Bocholtz-Meschede on July 21, 1916, the merchant Gustav Rading from Vohwinkel in the Lower Berg region acquired the castle through a forced auction.
