The castle was built in 1503-1506 by the tradesman Wilhelm Rosenberger von Rosenegg. Marble coats of arms of the von Törring and von Labach families used to be attached above the entrance portal, which have now disappeared;[1] there is no evidence of ownership for these families, which can be assumed.

In 1624, Christoph Khuen von Belasy brought the castle into its present form of a typical Salzburg residence. Until 1663 the manor remained in the possession of the Khuen von Belasy, then the Lichtenau manor, so freely Aigen, went to Georg Thomas Perger von Emslieb. At that time he was the caretaker of Mittersill and Urbarprobst of the Kellenamt (that was the administrator, tax collector and judge of the archbishopric) Stuhlfelden. In 1676 the castle was acquired by Johann Josef Graf zu Kuenburg and sold on to Archbishop Max Gandolf von Kuenburg in the same year. He lets apartments here, e.g. set up for the Unterwaldmeister of the Pinzgau so that the castle does not stand empty. Until 1811, the palace remained in the possession of the sovereign as an official and residential building, from 1811 to 1816 it was under the control of the royal Bavarian tax office, after which the k. u.k. Forest Service relocated here.

In 1902 the castle was acquired by Alfred Freiherr Plapart von Leenheer. After several changes of ownership, the Congregation of the Brothers of Christian Schools from Vienna acquired it in 1930 and set up a secondary school with boarding facilities here. The rear turret was removed during the necessary adaptation work. In 1959 the Evangelical Church of Stuhlfelden bought the building and set up a home and training center. In 1978 the castle was bought, renovated and revitalized by the Stuhlfelden municipality. Today there is a special education center and event rooms in the castle. The castle also serves cultural purposes.
