The castle was built around 1280 under Ulrich von Capellen . At that time Capellen was a Passau fief and came under the rule of Berg near Rohrbach in 1562 . He was succeeded by the gentlemen von Raspen. Ulrich Raspen was 1,397 nurses from Liebenstein . The castle was set on fire during the Peasant Wars. Afterwards it was partially demolished and converted into a building that served as a vicarage. The renovation that took place after 1626 was carried out by its owner Erasmus von Rödern.
