Viehofen Castle was first mentioned in the Göttweig traditions in 1130, but the castle is considered to be older. In 1179, Pope Alexander III confirmed the ownership rights of the Diocese of Passau to the castle in a document, but the castle chapel was not mentioned for the first time until 1248. In this document, the castle and chapel are shown as belonging to the monastery of St. Pölten. In the 12th and 13th centuries, the ministerial family of the "Viehofner" is documented, and in the early 14th century Reinprecht von Wallsee became a feudal lord of the Viehofen estate. The castle remained in the possession of the Wallseers until the end of the 15th century. After various short-term owners, the lordship passed to Bernhard von Kirchberg in 1508. He received the castle from the sovereign, who had purchased it from the bishops of Passau in 1491. The property remained with the Kirchberg family until around 1640, after which several castle lords followed: In 1665 the castle passed from the Lords of Wuschletitsch to the Counts of Herberstein, who passed it on to the von Wellenstein family in 1712. In 1745 the Counts of Kuefstein took over the castle and remained in possession of it until 2003. Until the church in Viehofen was opened in 1898, the castle chapel was the parish church of the then independent community. The castle was habitable and furnished until 1945. The Russian occupying troops, who used the castle as an ammunition depot[1], and after their withdrawal the population devastated the complex. In the decades that followed, the castle fell into disrepair and became a ruin, and in 1966 part of the castle was demolished. In the years that followed, the roof and roof structure collapsed. It was not until 2003 that Josef Figl bought the complex from a bankrupt estate and has been renovating it ever since.[1]
