The castle was built by the lords of Wössingen (those "von Wesingen", presumably feudal people of the margraves) and demolished in 1791. Former owners were the Margraves of Baden and, from 1681, the Barons of Saint-André . Only the farm buildings ( dairy ) built in the 17th century remain from the former castle complex .
