History+

As early as 1052, a nobleman from Dudeldorf was mentioned. In the 12th century, the original complex consisted of two castles, though their exact time of construction is unknown. The Dudeldorf family died out in the 14th century. The town fortifications, which partly served as the castle's enclosing wall, were built in 1345 and restored between 1451 and 1453. In 1701, Heinrich Gottfried Braun von Schmidtburg acquired the property.
