Gugelhammer was first documented in 1310 as a farm. In the course of history Gugelhammer had many changing owners. Since 1709 it was a late medieval armor operation in particular cannon balls were made. Therefore, the name "Kugelhammer". The nearby water-rich Gauchsbach offered the best conditions for water-powered businesses over the centuries.

Despite several fires, which however left the manor house unharmed, the iron hammer mill, the forge and the sawmill remained in operation until around 1845, when the construction of the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal deprived the Gauchsbach of its water power.

A jewel on the Gauchsbach, today the castle presents itself in a splendid condition inside and out. This is due to the major refurbishment by 2010
