Oldest orthography of the name of the village east Karoldespach, quoted in 837 among the goods of the convent of Hohenbourg rested by holy Odile, girl of the duke Etichon, the stock of the counts of Eguisheim. In 1144, it appears in the possessions of the priories of Feldbach, Saint-Morand and the abbeye of Lucelle under the patronym of Heroldespach. The lords of Zaessingue, Reinach and Andlau, the priory of Saint-Ulrich, the Clarisses of Basle, the counts of Ferrette also have grounds there. At the 13th century, Conrad de Karolspach managed a court colongère there. At the same time, some noble of Carspach is listed among the clarisses Mulhouse.

As of 1324, the county of Ferrette was transmitted to the dynasty of the Habsbourg by the marriage of the last countess, Jeanne of Ferrette. Pledged with the Austrian field in 1365, by the duke Léopold, the commune had to suffer from the civil war of the Armagnacs and Burgundian the. The premies set fire to the village. Then, it was the conflict between the Habsbourg and Confédérés, after the invasion of the troops ordered by the general Colloredo during the Guerre Thirty Year old.

There was no Château in Carspach before 1400. It is at that time that the knight - administrator of the village Ullmann de Ferrette transformed his court into Château. He resided at it with these descendants since the destruction of the Liebenstein by a Earthquake in 1356. This Castle, called bottom or inferior, was located close to Krebsbächlein (brook with crayfish).
