On August 15, 995, Ulmerfeld was mentioned for the first time in an exchange document from Bishop Gottschalk of Passau , which confirmed the handover of Ulmerfeld by King Otto III. to the Bishop of Freising. In 1250 Ulmerfeld was separated from the Amstetten parish together with Neuhofen . The church in Ulmerfeld became a branch church of Neuhofen.

In 1803 the rule of the Hochstift Freising ended , the castle and the rule became temporarily state domains, Ulmerfeld was given its own parish.
