The castle was built in 1724. It was named after its later owner, the Austrian Major General Baron von Kupperwolf, who acquired it after 1758 and remained its lord until the end of the century. It was destroyed by troops of the French Revolution in 1794 and subsequently rebuilt. Further renovations took place around 1888. An information panel providing a historical overview has since been installed at the castle.
