The castle originally served as the seat of various patrician families, including the Fuggers and the von Rehlingens. Today it is privately owned and has been extensively restored. In 2013, the owners received the Swabia District Monument Prize for this exemplary renovation. The castle is picturesquely located on the western edge of the town in the Schmutter lowlands and is a protected architectural monument. Although it is not open to the public, it remains an important testimony to regional history and architectural development in Swabia. Near the castle is the Catholic parish church of St. Stephanus, which was built in 1718/19 by Johann Holzapfel. This church is also worth a visit and complements the historical ensemble of Hainhofen.
