During the High and Late Middle Ages , there was no evidence of a fortification here, only one or more estates. 1165 pours Adalbert of Vrunthersdorf the Klosterreichenbach predii sui Aeceliniscelle . In 1395, the saddle archers declared a fiefdom to be held at Atzenzell as a fiefdom was not granted. In the land boards of 1488 and 1503, the Stöckl on the Hofmark are named as owners, who are probably the builders of the castle. The first of this family is Hans Stoeckl , who is also keepers of Neuhaus was. Hans Pentzkofer is authenticated in 1543 , while the Rainer von Rain zu Sattelbogen follow in the matriculation of 1588 . In 1570 the Poissl are proven here, around 1636 Christoff Paur is the owner. 1649 married Johann Christian von Hautzenberg the Margaret Keck , born Paur of Etzenberg . In 1651 he applied for the matriculation for the acquired Hofmark. Then Atzenzell goes over to the Barons von Manteuffel . Max Edler von Stubenrauch acquired this property in 1781, but sold it to Josef Edlen von Grauvogl as early as 1782 . He sells the Hofmark to the Electress Maria Anna , who sells it to the Oberalteich monastery in the same year .

After secularization , the castle briefly belonged to the St. Anna Abbey in Munich , then Wolfgang Aschenbrenner, brewer from Kötzting , bought the estate for his brother Beda, the former abbot of the Oberalteich monastery. Subsequently, the Matthias Pfeilschifter, Steinkirchner and Schuhmann families became owners of the castle estate. Since 1865 the castle estate has been owned by the Schegerer family, who still live in the castle today and run an inn in addition to farming.

After the Second World War , many refugees were housed in the castle.

Atzenzell Castle today

The former castle dates back to the late 15th century. The fortifications that existed at that time have gone. In 1726 it is described as Schlössl / so old / but provided with rooms / chambers / vaults / and Getraydt floors to the Noththurfft .

In the 19th century a brewery was built into the castle building. The agricultural use also brought about major changes in the building stock, as did the renovations after the fire in 1916. It is unclear whether the chapel , which is now secluded and divided, was part of the original building.

The main building is a three-storey hipped roof structure , the core of which dates from the late Middle Ages , which u. a. is occupied by the vaulted cellar. On the first floor there is a vaulted corridor and the former chapel, which is divided into two rooms. The former noble seat is now used as an inn.
