Another owner of the castle in 1717 was Rudolf Freisauff von Neudegg, a member of an important Salzburg trading family. From him, Sigmund Graf Kuenburg acquired the castle, which received a new interior from Count Kuenburg in 1741. In 1805, Franz Hugo Graf Salm-Reifferscheidt bought with his wife Maria Joisefa, b. Countess MacChaffry of Keanmore, the castle with the Blumensteinhof on Gaiusbergstrasse. In 1888 Theodor Favarger became the new owner. Neo-Gothic tower towers were added to the building around 1890 .
