Since 1995, Aurolzmünster Castle has also been owned by Spiegelfeld-Schneeburg'schen Vermögensverwaltung, headed by Georg Spiegelfeld-Schneeburg. It was also renovated, but regional policy made it difficult to re-use it, which is why it is currently for sale again.

In 1985, Georg Spiegelfeld-Schneeburg acquired Parz Castle and the neighboring Parz Castle . The former was sold to the Messerschmidt Foundation after the renovation and the 2010 state exhibition. In 2000 the company also acquired Ennsegg Castle .

In the last few decades the castle has been run as a retreat and education center and as a St. Kamillus residential and nursing home . The new owners wanted to continue the humanitarian use of the house and, together with the SOS Human Rights Association, install an education and residential center for unaccompanied young refugees. The project failed, however, mainly due to the resistance of the Wolfen mayor, which is why the castle is currently unused and is for sale again.
