In the oldest feudal directory of the monastery Waldsassen a desolation in Groschlattengrün is at the beginning of the 14th century first led ( "desertum in Vscholtzgrun"), 1362 was there a for Good Fockenfeld called belonging meadow and 1395 "Uswaltsgrune" was being a landmark in Cheb country called which was no longer subject to land tax. The name "Vscholtzgrun" could refer to a local founder named Uschold or Oswald.

In 1404 Erhard and Sieghard Schirndinger zu Schirnding sold half of the village to hammer master Thoma zu Lorenzenreuth and the other half to the Redwitz family in Oberredwitz. Later three quarters of the village and its affiliation were in a feudal relationship with the Waldsassen monastery and one quarter with the Speinshart monastery . Groschlattengrün belonged to the burgrave office ob the mountains of the burgraves of Nuremberg with regard to the feudal sovereignty and was later incorporated into the Margraviate Bayreuth .

The fiefdoms of both monasteries had a landowner at the beginning of the 16th century, who was also endowed with the lower jurisdiction . In 1546 Heinrich von Thölau (Tellein), known as Plechschmied, was given the properties belonging to Speinshart as a fiefdom, in 1549 he received the fiefdom letter for three quarters of "Uscholzgrun including his belongings" from the administrator of the Waldsassen monastery, Heinrich Rudolf von Weze. In 1551 Heinrich's son-in-law, Baltahsar Liebhart, took over the estate. In 1554 this passed to Magister Johann Samet zu Gefrees as heir of his first wife, a born von Thölau. His son Friedrich Sittig zu Wölsau acquired the estate in 1586. In 1593 the estate was shared between Friedrich Sittig and his brother Hans Georg. The next owner was Erasmus Schiller in Münchsberg, the brother-in-law of the two brothers, who was enfeoffed with Groschlattengrün ("Uscholzgrün") in 1609. Hans Heinrich Müffling, known as Weiß, inherited the fief in 1615. After the Thirty Years' War , his son Christoph Heinrich Müffling, captain of the six offices in Wunsiedel , was listed as the owner of Groschlattengrün ("Uscholtsgrün, Groschlazgruen"). He was followed by his underage sons Hans Joachim, Hans Heinrich and Friedrich Wilhelm Müfflingnach. Matheus Göring, Margrave of Brandenburg Vogt in Weißenstadt , was appointed as the fiefdom holder . In 1657 Rittmeister Hans Wilhelm bought "Groschlattenburg" from the Müffling heirs from and to Brand. He died in 1663 without a male heir; Speinshart Abbey then enfeoffed Groschlattengrün to von Waldenfels and von Feilitsch, the husbands of Brand's daughters, Waldsassen Abbey gave its three-quarters share to Brand's widow and his three daughters Anna Sibilla, Sabina Margareta and Maria Susanna in 1670. In 1671, Hans Christoph von Feilitsch was made responsible for himself and his brother-in-law Christoph Philipp von Waldenfels as the fiefdom of the Brandsche daughters. In 1681, after the death of Christoph Philipp von Waldenfels, a Peter Stüber and in 1690 a Hans Rößler appeared as fiefdoms for the heirs. After that, Groschlattengrün remained in the possession of the von Waldenfels family. However, the property rights, which were fragmented by inheritance, were mostly exercised by the court administrators at Groschlattengrün.

Due to the exchange contract between the Electorate of Bavaria and the Kingdom of Prussia , the Hofmark Groschlattengrün was assigned to Bavaria in 1804 and provisionally assigned to the Waldsassen district court . Since 1799, the feudal owner was Philipp Wilhelm Joseph Freiherr von Waldenfels, chamberlain from Würzburg and captain of the guard, who was assigned to Groschlattengrün on October 19, 1804. He initially served as an officer in the Bavarian military, then from 1806 in the Grand Ducal Würzburg bodyguard. In 1814 a local court Groschlattengrün was approved, which was converted into a patrimonial court in 1818 . After the landowner renounced his court rights, Groschlattengrün was incorporated into the Waldsassen regional court on June 21, 1823. In 1832 Groschlattengrün was sold to Emanuel Osmund from Bayreuth and the castle deteriorated over the years. Today the Nothaft family lives in the castle, who renovated and restored it.
