The castle was built between 1679 and 1691 on the site of a medieval moated castle as a four-wing complex by Count Johann Ludwig von Hohenlohe-Künzelsau. From 1679 to 1868 it was a residence of the House of Hohenlohe and from 1873 to 1934 a teachers' seminary. From 1937 to 1939 the building was completely rebuilt and today houses a state gymnasium with a boarding school.
