The first mentioned owner is an Alber von Polheim named in 1257. The castle remained in the Polheim family for the next 400 years. Since the Polheimers were Protestant and did not want to change their faith, they had to sell the castle in 1629 and so the castle came into the possession of the Catholic imperial count Weikart Katzianer von Katzenstein. In 1693 Count Johann Weikhart Katzianer sold the castle to his son-in-law Jakob Friedrich von Eyselsberg. The castle burned down in 1736. In 1766 the castle was rebuilt in its current form. A well-known member of this family was Anton von Eiselsberg , one of the founders of the Vienna School of Surgery.
