Built around 1280, the castle changed ownership between noble families, including the Spiegelbergs and Homburgs, during numerous territorial conflicts in medieval times.

The castle functions as a historical center where visitors learn about medieval architecture and the development of fortifications in Lower Saxony.

The castle grounds are accessible through marked hiking trails, with guided tours available that explain the structure's architectural elements and defensive systems.

Tsar Peter the Great visited this castle in 1697, meeting with Electors from Hanover and Brandenburg during his European diplomatic journey.
