In the 15th and the first half of the 16th century, the Scharpfenbergs were named as owners of Ursensollen. In the late 16th century, the castle chapel was expanded into a parish church , the still preserved tower was renovated in 1969, and the old nave had to give way to a new building. He was succeeded by Hans Mehringer in 1550 and 1563 as Herr von Ursensollen, followed by his son Niklas and then in 1566 by Johan Erckenbrechtshausen. 1577 was the Hans Erckenbrechtshausen by Elector Ludwig VI. the Landsassenbrief issued on Ursensollen. His epitaph († 1578) can be found on the south wall of the local church. His heirs can be proven here until the end of the 17th century. In 1652 the Hofmark Ursensollen was auctioned off and was bought by the widow of Wolf Friedrich von Erckenbrechtshausen, Felicitas. In 1693/94 the Hofmark was sold to Johann Jakob Haller von Hallerstein ; In 1722 you can find Johann Anton Haller here. In 1730 Johann Jakob von Thünefeld is the local owner.
