The baroque castle church within the fortress Ziegenhain was built between 1665 and 1667 as a reformed preaching church, on August 30th of that year the hall church was opened in the presence of Landgrave Wilhelm VII. The building was damaged by bombing during the Seven Years' War in 1761. Johann Andreas Heinemann installed the organ in 1769/71, which was expanded and rebuilt in the 19th and 20th centuries. In 1927 the roof ridge was rebuilt and renovated, and in 1962 the interior was redesigned.

When Landgrave Philipp convened the important meeting in 1539 in the water fortress of Ziegenhain that led to the introduction of confirmation, a predecessor church to today's Castle Church still stood on Paradeplatz. The Strasbourg theologian Martin Bucer was to find a compromise in the dispute with the Anabaptists. Bucer's Church Discipline ultimately stipulated that children should be baptized, instructed in the faith, examined, and subsequently reaffirmed. Thus, with the Ziegenhain Church Discipline of 1539, confirmation was introduced here, a practice that continues worldwide today!
