The castle remained until 1353 in the possession of the Counts of Schladen, was Bishop Henry III. purchased for the diocese of Hildesheim, came together with the village after the Hildesheimer pin feud in 1523 in the possession of the Wolfenbüttel Dukes and fell in 1643 with the restitution of the Great pin to back this.
