The castle was built in the 12th century as a permanent home for the gentlemen of the house. Originally the Hofmarkschloss located on a hill was called "Veste Vurt" after the ford in the valley of the Ilz around which the village of Furth developed in the forest. Eckhard and Heinrich de Vurt are mentioned in 1190 and 1207, respectively. The castle burned down in 1510 and was rebuilt in 1551. The name "Hauß" appears for the first time in a fiefdom from 1550. The Yssel, the Nussberger, the Trauner and the Freiherren von Pechmann are named as other owners. In 1803 the property came to Bavaria. Between 1818 and 1848 it was owned by the cajetan Max Friedrich von Hueb. The castle was used as a school building from the 19th century until 1961. After further changes of ownership and an interim use as a home for orphaned children from 1963 to 1967, the entrepreneur Franz Zambelli Sopalù acquired the castle in December 1977 and began renovation and refurbishment work in the spring of 1978, which was completed in autumn 1983.
