The coat of arms on the tower shows the coats of arms of Sürgenstein, Roth von Schreckenstein, von Liebenfels, von Coppenhagen and von Stuben from bottom to top. Engelbert von Syrgenstein's father is named as Obervogt zu Gaienhofen. The owners of the renaissance building were the von Liebenfels, in the 18th century the von Koppenhagen were named as owners.
