There was a castle at the current location before the Thirty Years' War, which was owned by a branch of the Pölnitz family. It burned down completely during the war. General Hieronymus Christoph von Pölnitz, who was elevated to the status of baron by Emperor Leopold I in 1670, acquired the site from another branch of the family in 1652 and had the castle rebuilt in its current form between 1677 and 1697, incorporating the remaining foundations and walls. Under Marquard Karl Christoph Freiherr von Pölnitz, knight captain of the canton of Steigerwald, the baroque design of the interior took place in the early 18th century. Major renovations took place from 1896 to 1904, and another renovation was carried out in 1976.
