The castle was built by the dukes of Teck around the year 1200. The castle was first mentioned in a document in 1225. The owner is Hug der Alte, Herr auf Schilteck.
The Lords of Schilteck owned numerous farms as feudal estates in Schramberg and the surrounding area, and in 1271/1381 they sold a large amount of real estate from the Rottweil, Schwenningen and Tuttlingen areas, where they also had properties.
The castle then changed hands several times. Among other things, a Herter zu Dusslingen, von Wildenstein (in the Eschachtal), Count Rudolf von Hohenberg (Heuberg), the lords of Ow and Neuneck in the Glatt valley, and the Counts of Württemberg owned the castle.
In 1496 Schilteck Castle fell to the rule of Schramberg and Ludwig von Rechberg. The Rechbergers were not long in possession of the castle, it had to be pledged again in the following generations. Due to the recurrent pledges, the castle slowly began to decline. When the castle was still being used as a quarry, the castle's fate was sealed.
