It could not be documented who the builders were, but there are many moments, such as the association of coats of arms, heraldic finds, etc., that it was the Lords of Vierding named in the valid book as the first owners, and that these Eichbüchl were already in the 14th century have owned. The first documented owner was Georg Hohenkirchner zu Tegernau and Aichbüchel in the 15th century. The village of Eichbüchl was founded in 1611 by one of the previous owners, Katharina von Donawitz, Frau zu Eichbüchl. The castle got its current appearance at the turn of the century.

In 1888 the village of Eichbüchl was incorporated with Katzelsdorf.
