In 1241 a Mechthild Inkoferin appears as the wife of Erich von Schierling. A Siboto, a knight of Armannperg and inherited from the county of Kirchberg , married an Irmgard Inkoferin in 1248 and thus came into the possession of the later Hofmark .

After the inheritance of the brothers Peter and Gebhart Inkofer, Inkofen and its accessories passed to Gebhart on May 4, 1381. On March 18, 1396, Gebhart der Inkofer sells his party and seat in Inkofen to Friedrich the Smieher . On October 28, 1416 Wilhelm Wernbeck and Heinrich Pestenacker sold Michael Moshamer the property in Inkofen that they had inherited from their friend Leonhard the Smiehrer . The Moshamer family is attested to Inkofen until 1537: Michael Moshamer (1416), a Mosshaymer from Inkofen (1464), Wilhelm Mosheiner (1466), Jörg Moßheimer (1470, 1480), Georig Mosshaymer (1482), Jörig Mosheimer (1494), Adam Moßhamer zu Schmalnstain and Inkofen (1514), Christoff Moshaimer zu Inkofen (1532, 1537, 1539). In 1470 the Hofmark Inkofen is included in the regional table , but it does not appear as Hofmark until 1618 in the description of the Kirchberg Regional Court. On August 18, 1537, Christoff Moshamer and his wife Benigna sold Inkofen Castle including Hofmark to Sebastian Kolb zu Hailsberg and his wife Anna. Inkofen sold these to Michael Grießmayr , citizen of Straubing, on November 19, 1551 . His heirs remained in the seat until 1580, whereby in 1578 Inkofen named Alexander Lerchenfelder as owner of the court marque. In 1597 at the latest, he was replaced by Hans Heinrich Grießmayr. On September 28, 1618, the Inkofen Castle and Hofmarksrechtigkeit were sold by the guardians of Johannes Grießmayr to Mathäus Bittlmayer , Chancellor of Landshut and Pfleger zu Kirchberg.

The palace was rebuilt in the 16th century and further expanded and converted in the 17th century.

On March 1, 1660, according to the will of Mathäus Bittlmayer , the castle and the Hofmark passed to the Mallersdorf monastery . Inkofen stayed with this monastery until secularization .

Today the former Hofmarkschloss is privately owned.
