The original castle was built in the 13th century by the Counts of Aichelberg. It was acquired by Burkhard von Berlichingen in 1596, and renovated in a Renaissance style. From 1749 to 1920 the castle was owned by the Von Münch banking dynasty.
In 1971 a fire burnt down the south and the west wings of the castle. Göppingen district acquired the property in 1986, and restoration work was completed in 1994. Since 2008 the castle has been run by the Schloss Filseck Stiftung of the Kreissparkasse Göppingen.
