The community bought the castle in 1960 and sold it in 1967. The castle is now owned by several families.

Story:

House churches were probably founded around 1100 by Hugo of Liechtenstein under the name "Hugeschirichen". It originally only consisted of a fortified building and a small church. In 1110 he also founded the associated parish. After 1142, Wichard von Stronsdorf from the Chadolde clan handed over the “Hugeschirchen” estate to Klosterneuburg Abbey. According to Dopsch, the name "Hugo" contained in the place name could be identical to Hugo I of Liechtenstein, who was wealthy in the area and appears in documents several times between 1120 and 1243.

Around 1200, Gerbirgis von Eibesthal gave the monastery new ownership of house churches in the form of three and a half peasant fiefs. In 1312 Hermann von Eibesthal sold local property to the duke. In 1319 a “Frewe von Hauskirchen” appeared. In 1590, splinter ownership of various noble families can already be identified, including: Liechtenstein, Fünfkirchen and Joseph Gröbl. Hans Nußkircher named himself after the place in 1590. In 1599 the property passed to Hans Reinhard Ehrenreiter, who probably built the castle around 1602/03. The castle can probably only be seen as an indirect successor to the older seat. In 1838 Hauskirchen belonged to the Knights of Gyra, and in 1846 it belonged to Liechtenstein again.

Hauskirchen Castle: This early Baroque castle, significantly altered over the centuries, originally formed a fortified complex together with the Hauskirchen parish church. Franz Anton Pilgram was involved in the planning of the elongated Baroque building of Prinzendorf Castle.
