In 1588 the castle was built by the Lords of Stain in place of an earlier moated castle mentioned in 1460 as an extensive Renaissance complex. In 1932 the castle - without the outbuildings of the Amtshaus and Jägerhaus, Erzmagazin and Zehntscheuer as well as the castle chapel with the furnishings from the time it was built - was destroyed by fire. In 1953 the last remains of the castle chapel were demolished.
