In 1278 Dürrenmungenau was first mentioned as "Mungenau". At that time there was a permanent house to secure the road from Nuremberg to Augsburg .
Once the location and the castle in the Thirty Years' War had been destroyed, the Nuremberg Jobst Christoph bought Kress von Kressenstein to the deserted village become place in 1651 and populated it again. The castle was rebuilt in Baroque form from 1720 to 1725 and used by the owner family as a summer residence.
The manor Dürrenmungenau was controllable by the knight canton Altmühl . It exercised the high court over Dürrenmungenau and Hergersbach and Weihermühle to a limited extent. If necessary, it had to be delivered to the Brandenburg-Ansbach caste and city bailiff's office in Windsbach . It also ruled the villages and communities over the named places. Towards the end of the 18th century it had the manorial rule over a total of 42 properties, which were distributed in the following places (the number of properties is given in brackets): Dürrenmungenau (29), Hergersbach (11), Beerbach (1) and Weihermühle (1 ).
It has been owned by the Barons Leuckart von Weißdorf and their descendants since 1896 . Around 1900 the castle was redesigned in the style of historicism, with new farm buildings being built.
