The castle may have belonged to the rule of the Lords of Ort , relatives of the Lords of Wilhering , because in 1210 Eppenberg was still in the fief of Hartnids von Ort . When Eppenberg came to the Wilhering Monastery is unclear.

The substructure of the Hausberg-like weir system is still well preserved. Minor impairments can be found in the area of the outer bailey. Remnants of the wall could still be seen in the 1960s.
