The moated castle was mentioned in the 15th century and named a new building in 1607. The castle was destroyed in the Thirty Years War and demolished in 1802. The Lords of Stotzingen are named as former owners .
Nothing has survived from the castle complex, which can no longer be precisely located, a former four-cornered three-storey building with two bay windows.
