The castle has been owned by the Barons of Crailsheim for over 450 years. It is no longer possible to fathom when the moated castle was first built. Before 1220, a family of knights, the Fuchs von Stockheim, exercised sovereign rights. During the Peasants' War in 1525, the Weiherschloss was destroyed and rebuilt in 1531. The stately two-storey building makes an imposing, defiant impression with its four wings around an inner courtyard and its four round towers.
