The village was first mentioned in 1427 in the diocesan archives of Basle. It comprised simple huts built to house the craftsmen and workers who constructed the Three Castles in the 11th and 12th centuries, then Marbach Abbey in the 13th century. Originally known as "Haüsern" meaning "houses", its name became Husseren, and then in 1925 "Husseren-les-Châteaux" to distinguish it from Husseren-Wesserling in the Thur valley.
