history
The castle, built by the Lords of Seekirchen, Ministeriale of the Counts of Veringen, was first mentioned in 1373, and in 1390 it fell into disrepair. A castle-like country house called Burgberg was rebuilt in its place, but was destroyed a short time later during the Thirty Years War .
Nothing has been preserved from the former castle complex.
