Gugelhammer was first mentioned in a document as a farm in 1310. It emerged from one of the old Zeidel Muttergüter estates of the Reichswald. The first hammer mill was built in the early 14th century at the latest , and for many generations it was owned by bourgeois and craftsmen, often changing hands. It had a stone house, which is attested to as a small, tower-like mansion around 1500, which also fulfilled representative and protective functions for the hammer lord.

Since then, the hammer mill has always been (and until today) in the possession of families of the Nuremberg patriciate . In 1463 it was owned by the councilor Heinrich Meichsner. In 1530 the hammer mill came to the Holzschuher and passed to the Fürer von Haimendorf by marriage in 1539 . In the Second Margrave War (1552–1554) the place was largely destroyed. In 1582 only the industrial plant was initially back in operation. With the marriage of the Felizitas Fürer, the Gugelhammer soon passed to Hans Usefulel the Elder . Ä. In 1584 he had the Voithaus built with an upper floor in which stately rooms were to be furnished. The old mansion was still "in the ashes" and was therefore called the " Burgstall ". From 1607 onwards, residential complexes and stables were gradually rebuilt. The existence as a paper mill is recorded for 1622 . During the Thirty Years' War, the mill was temporarily used as an armaments factory; ammunition and, in particular, cannon balls were manufactured. Since then the manor house has been called Schloss Kugelhammer .

In 1692 the ball hammer was handed over to Johann Carl Schlüsselfelder von Kirchensittenbach , who converted it into a sawmill. The key fields were co-opted into the Nuremberg patriciate in 1536 through their inclusion in the dance statute and remained in the "Inner Council" until the death of Johann Carl in 1709, the last of his family. He left his considerable property with several manors and real estate in 1709 to the von Schlüsselfelder family foundation , an advance under traditional inheritance and foundation law of the Nuremberg patricians.

Since 1709, 23 administrators from the Kreß von Kressenstein , Welser von Neunhof and (since 1878) Volckamer von Kirchensittenbach families have headed the foundation . Christoph von Volckamer is currently administrator of the foundation.

On May 1, 1978 Gugelhammer was incorporated into the market town of Wendelstein together with Röthenbach near Sankt Wolfgang and Nerreth .

From 2005 to 2010 the Kugelhammer Castle was completely renovated and in 2010 it was awarded for excellent monument preservation services.
