History+

The construction of Dellingen Castle is presumed to have taken place between the 11th and 12th centuries. It served as the ancestral seat of the local lower nobility of Waldhausen. In 1483, the Counts of Lupfen are mentioned as feudal lords. Around 1512, ownership passed to Georg Stähelin von Stockburg, before the complex was sold to the Lordship of Fürstenberg in 1559. It remains unclear whether the castle was later abandoned or destroyed during the Peasants' War.
