The first documentary mention of the complex dates to the year 1002. In the second half of the 13th century, a new building was constructed on the site. Towards the end of the 18th century, the castle underwent partial demolition. A fire in 1877 destroyed parts of the complex, leading to a partial reconstruction between 1886 and 1894.
