Frickingen Castle was mentioned for the first time in 1094 in a certificate from the Swiss monastery of All Saints when a property was awarded, attested by a Count Burchard von Frickingen. In 1235, Adelheid von Justingen left the castle, including the church, bailiff and accessories, to the Bishop of Constance . Allegedly the castle was destroyed in 1356 by Konrad von Homburg. Perhaps the Schwedenschanze 2.5 kilometers north of Frickingen was a predecessor facility.
