===First and Second castles===
Only written records exist of the original castle built in the [[High Middle Ages]],{{citation needed|date=September 2017}} built by the [[Swabian Hohenzollerns|Counts of Zollern]]. Although the [[House of Hohenzollern]] itself finds its first mention in 1061,{{efn|[[Berthold of Reichenau]] writes in a chronicle in 1061 that Wezil and Burchardus "de Zolorin" were killed in battle.<ref>
Construction on a second, stronger castle began in 1454.<ref name=CastHist/> It was captured by [[Württemberg]]er troops in 1634 midway in the [[Thirty Years' War]] (1618–1648), then fell under [[Habsburg]] control for about a century. During the [[War of the Austrian Succession]] (1740–1748) it was occupied in the winter of 1744/45 by [[Early Modern France|French]] soldiers. Returned to Habsburg control after the war, it was rarely occupied and began to fall to ruin after the last Austrian owner left the castle in 1798. By the beginning of the 19th century only the Chapel of [[Michael (archangel)|St. Michael]] remained usable.
