The former moated castle is the oldest building in Dürrwangen. The keep dates from the early Middle Ages (probably 9th century). Unfortunately, the moat around the former moated castle has silted up today. However, the defensive wall and the three-arched sandstone ashlar bridge from the 18th century are well preserved. The three-story main building in Baroque style with stucco decorations (pilasters) was built in its current form between 1720 and 1724 after several fires. As part of a general renovation between 1999 and 2002, another wing was added, and the old rooms with their parquet floors and stucco ceilings were restored to their original condition. Today, Dürrwangen Castle is home to various service companies.
