The castle in the 16th century

The former Hofmark Palace was the seat of the Eisenhofer family from the 11th century. The Eisenhofer family also named themselves after the Eisenhofen Castle in Hof ( Wiguleus Hund , 1585). In 1506 it came into the possession of Dietrich von Plieningen . In 1520 Leonhard von Eck (advisor to the Bavarian Duke Wilhelm IV ) bought the Eisenhofen property with the castle. When his only son, Oswald von Eck, became a Protestant, he got into debt and had to sell the castle. After the castle was destroyed by the Swedes in the Thirty Years' War , Bishop Johannes Francis rebuilt it.

In 1622 it was taken over by the Freising bishops under Veit Adam von Gepeckh , who had their summer residence here until secularization (1803) . In 1803 the west wing was demolished. The St. Corbinian Castle Chapel was built at the beginning of the 18th century  . Bishop Johann Franz Freiherr von Eckher spent his youth at Schloss Hof . The castle was later used as a primary school. Johannes Neuhäusler and Josef Grahamer , for example, went to school there. Today the castle is privately owned.

Glaneck Castle , located southwest of Eisenhofen, did not belong to the Eisenhofer estate.
