El castillo adqurió su aspecto actual cuando Maximiliano de Habsburgo y su esposa, Carlota Amalia, lo habitaron entre 1864 y 1867.
El castillo se concibió inicialmente como casa de descanso real. Lo que nunca sospechó fue que sería testigo de memorables historias de amor y dolor de la tradición mexicana.
