Towards the end of the 11th century, Emperor Heinrich IV had Rems Castle built. In 1268 the castle was mentioned as a property of Württemberg . Count Ulrich II. And Eberhard von Württemberg stayed in the castle several times. In the course of the conflict between Count Eberhard and Emperor Heinrich VII. Rems Castle was finally destroyed at the beginning of the 14th century. Later, members of the Nothaft family were Wuerttemberg castle men at the castle they had rebuilt. Over time, Rems Castle lost its importance and was demolished in 1576. Only the dungeon was allowed to stand, how in the figure of Neckarrems in Kieserschen forest stock book can still be seen from the 1686th

Remseck Castle

In the years 1841/42, Major Franz von Grimm had Remseck Castle built in neo-Gothic style in place of the castle that had been abandoned. Part of the new facility were also a farm yard, a barn and a horse stable as well as a large garden. In 1863, Franz von Grimm sold Remseck Castle again.

The castle passed to Count Edzard zu Inn- und Knyphausen , who came from Celle, and his wife Fanny Pauline, a daughter of Karl Weiprecht Reinhard von Gemmingen . When the places Aldingen , Hochberg , Hochdorf , Neckargröningen and Neckarrems merged in 1975, Remseck Castle was roughly in the geographical center of the new community. With effect from July 1, 1977, this was then named after the castle. Before that, the municipality was named after its largest district, Aldingen am Neckar .

From 1967 to 1991 Anton zu Inn- und Knyphausen and his wife Brita Gustafson-Knyphausen ran an art gallery in the palace.

Todays use

Until 2003 the castle remained in the possession of the Inn- and Knyphausen family. In 2003, Rüdiger Stihl, a son of Andreas Stihl , acquired the castle and had it completely renovated.
