" ARNOLPHI CLAUSTRO DVM REGNAT BLASIUS ABBAS FRATRIBUS HAEC DOMUS EST AEDIFICATA SVIS ANNA SALVTIS MDLXXIIII "

On September 1, 1574, Duke Albrecht cleared the castle.

In 1727, Prince Abbot Anselm Godin de Tampezo built an extension to the east, which was intended as a summer residence for the abbots. After the secularization , the property was leased on April 1, 1803 by Abbot Steiglehner . On December 12, 1811, Steiglehner canceled the lease with the state of Bavaria.
