The castle was built around 1100 and left around the middle of the 13th century. Probably the first high castle of the noblemen of Burladingen (local nobility).
The name of the castle has not been handed down. The only reference to the castle is in the Burladingen church calendar of 1617, which was renewed in 1697.
The only part of the castle that has survived is the stump of a tower(just under 6 x 6 m) with remains of the wall shell made of small ashlars. For this reason, the literature sometimes speaks of a watchtower instead of a castle. Behind the top of the hill with the remains of the partially supported tower, the rest of the castle site extends a little lower as a levelled area (about 10 x 20 m).
