In 1241, the area north of the Erlaufzwiesel came into the possession of the diocese of Passau, and on the left bank of the Erlauf in the course of the 13th century, the settlement of Wieselburg was built around a large square with a manor as the administrative center of the Passau people. By the 15th century at the latest, the castle-like building and its rule passed into secular hands. After frequent changes of ownership, Emperor Franz I acquired the castle in 1823 and had it redesigned in the Josephine style and the castle park built based on French models.

After the Habsburgs were expropriated by the Republic of Austria in 1919, the castle remained in federal ownership until it was purchased by the city in 1976 in order to use it for various functions today. It houses the Museum of Prehistory and Early History, a chapel, a few shops and several apartments. Today it forms the core of the city with the castle park.

A comprehensive restoration took place in 1994. Since then, the castle has mainly consisted of apartments and business premises. Since 1983, a side wing of the city's Protestant community has served as a religious center. The prehistoric collection of the city museum is housed in another side building. Today the market castle and the castle park are the heart of the city center.
