In 1276 the castle was built by Count Eberhard I. von Katzenelnbogen . It was mentioned in a document in 1291. In 1349 Count Johann II and Eberhard IV von Katzenelnbogen signed a contract with Count Walram von Sponheim to finance the construction of the Stadecken Castle, which they shared, and turned it into an administrative center.
