History+
The castle was sold by the Lords of Waldsee to the Habsburgs in 1331. In 1478, the Lords of Neidegg, who came from Graubünden, acquired the complex, which henceforth bore their name. In 1520, Truchsess Georg III. von Waldburg bought the lordship of Eberhardzell-Schweinhausen and the associated castle in Eberhardzell. Contrary to the assumption that the castle was destroyed in the Peasants' War in 1525, it was weathered by old age in 1607 according to a source, but not dilapidated. The walls of Neidegg Castle were largely removed from 1609 to serve as building material for the construction of the nearby Heinrichsburg.
