Founded around 1050, Butenheim was one of the oldest fortified castles in Alsace. It belonged to the house of Andlau when it was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War (1618-48). The Andlau abandoned the site and settled on the site of the present castle of Hombourg.
The last remains of the castle of Butenheim were razed from 1860-65, today only a few remains of the walls remain.
