In 1502 the castle is mentioned as Dürnhoff in an uncompleted deed of purchase between Nuremberg citizens, Hans Helchner and Sebald Tucher. On 13 December 1505 Durnhof was sold by Hans Helchner jun. as a freehold possession with its estate to the city of Nuremberg. The seat was last mentioned in 1547.
