The wooden fortress was replaced by a stone building in 1511 and expanded with economic outbuildings and a brewery in 1622. Further wings were built by the end of the 17th century. The castle park was also laid out at this time. In 1726 Ignaz von Törring had a new brewery built and his own water pipe laid in the castle and the brewery. In the 18th century the entire castle was redesigned in Baroque style .

In 1855 Jettenbach Castle burned down to the outer walls and was rebuilt in a simpler way to its present appearance in the following two years.

Castle chapel

The castle chapel dates back to 1356. In 1734 St. Vitus was redesigned in Baroque style . A final expansion took place in 1920; between 1989 and 1996 the chapel was renovated.
