The castle was built between 1236 and 1250 and was one of the most important castle complexes in Mecklenburg in the Middle Ages. The keep, the remains of which today form the "Leaning Tower", was built in the third phase between 1390 and 1453. After the castle owners Riebe interfered in an inner-city Stralsund conflict, a Stralsund force conquered and destroyed the fortifications of the castle in 1453.

The first mention of Galenbeck Castle comes from a document from 1277. The building was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. The ruins of the castle tower and the exposed foundation walls of other buildings still testify to medieval fortifications
