The castle was built around 1200 by the barons of Sax, and was destroyed in 1446.

In 1248, the castle passed to Ulrich von Sax, founder of the Sax-Hohensax line of the noble family.

The castle was plundered in a feud of 1393, and sold together with the villages of Sax and Gams to the dukes of Austria.
