Hiedungispuigin was first mentioned in 1113 as the property of the Melk monastery. In 1296, the castle was first mentioned in a document in connection with Otto von Ydungspiugen. The keystone of the gate bears the year 1192. It can therefore be assumed that a previous building existed before 1296. In 1585, the castle, which had been owned by Konrad von Pappenheim since 1578, came into the possession of the Barons von Kollonitsch. They gave the complex its current appearance.

The current castle is a four-winged building from the 16th and 17th centuries. Nothing remains of the original medieval building. During renovations, it was discovered that the basement of the main wing and the lower square part of the tower consist of quarry stone walls, while the upper floors are made of brick. The gate is emphasized by the tower. This consists of a two-story cuboid, on which an octagonal structure with a flat pyramid roof is enthroned. In the inner courtyard there is an arcade made of Tuscan columns.

In 1985 the castle was purchased by the municipality of Jedenspeigen.

The rooms now house a permanent exhibition / documentation about the fateful battle between Rudolf of Habsburg and Ottokar of Bohemia. The Battle of Dürnkrut and Jedenspeigen (Battle of the Marchfeld).

The castle, a two-storey square building with a defensive moat, was mentioned in writing as early as 1296 when it was mentioned in a document in connection with Otto von Ydungspiugen. It is reported that the keystone of the formerly Gothic stone gate bore the year 1192. The building is the result of several modifications and extensions. The castle got its current appearance when, after being destroyed in the 15th century, it was rebuilt by the Kollonitsch family on the remains of the old building just before 1600.
