history

The castle was built shortly before 1393 by Seifried the Buchberger zu Wildenstein (1374-1393). The Buchbergers (Puchbergers) were an important noble family in Lower Bavaria until the 16th century and had their ancestral seat at Buchberg Castle in the Upper Palatinate . In 1558 the castle came to Ottheinrich von Schwarzenberg after the Buchbergers died out. On October 17, 1592, the Passau bishop Urban von Trennbach acquired the lordships of Wildenstein, Buchberg and Röhrnbach from Wolf Jakob von Schwarzenberg. Neuenbuchberg Castle remained unoccupied and fell into disrepair.
