Rittergut C was built in the first half of the 1840s by a local baron, colonel, and aide de camp of the last prince-elector (Kurfürst) of Hesse.

The building was originally a late-classical structure built in the so-called round-arch style. The chateau's appearance is dominated by large arched windows. In 1910, a noble family acquired the entire property. Immediately afterward, extensive interior renovations were carried out due to structural damage in 1910/11. Attics were added to create more space, completely changing the overall appearance that characterized the original building. The modified building can therefore be described as a late-historical or neo-Baroque country house.

Later, the Rittergut was operated as a forest hotel and became a popular excursion destination in the 1950s and 1960s. The chateau, with its secluded Art Nouveau park, is situated in a secluded location, about three kilometers from the nearest village, in a wooded landscape. For the past few decades, a nature conservation association has rented the estate. Through exhibitions, the association informed visitors about its work, and in addition to research, it also held training courses and professional seminars, primarily on forestry, international reforestation projects, and sustainable forestry systems.
