The castle decorative mountain was in the town of Ansfelden in District Linz-Land of Upper Austria . The substructure of the castle complex was massively impaired by a gravel pit. Today there is a waterworks at the site; Remains of the core plant and the moat can be seen in the direction of the high plateau.
The castle was probably built as a successor to Ipf Castle by Warmund von Zierberg. This warm and appears between 1179 and 1299 under the Styrian ministerial . Ulrich von Zierberg, son of Bruno, appears between 1224 and 1234 as a fiefdom of the Dukes of Austria . After this Ulrich, Meinhard Tröstel appears as the next owner of Zierberg. His first wife, Chunigunde von Zierberg (mentioned 1248 to 1255 and daughter of Ulrich), seems to have brought this inheritance to him. Margarethe, the daughter of the two previously named, gave Siboto von Lonstorf the property , who relocated to Zierberg after settling inheritance disputes. Their son Heinrich is called Heinrich von Cirberch the Lonstorfer . The Lonstorfer remained in the male line on Zierberg for the next generations until the extinction of this sex. After the Lonstorf family, the inheritance came to Kunigunde von Lonstorf, who married Wolfhart von Ehrenfels in 1345 and who had taken over the Ipf-Zierberg inheritance in 1370.
After 1569, Zierberg Castle was demolished by the Volkenstorfern after it was united with the Weißenberg rulership .
