The village was first documented approximately 1,000 years ago, when it was owned by the Einödhof Castle estate. Einödhof Castle changed hands several times over the years. The castle ruins were gradually demolished over the years to prevent damage to the surrounding buildings. Today, only the castle's main tower and some dilapidated walls remain. Einödhof Castle is now privately owned. Under certain conditions, the Einödhof Castle ruins can still be visited.

The village remains largely rural to this day. Einödhof is home to two large farms and one smaller farm. The two large farms are located on the western edge of the village, in Alteinödhof. Neueinödhof is the name given to the small settlement in the east of the village, which consists of around eight single-family homes. The buildings on the northern side were all built during the 20th century, and those on the southern side during the 21st century.

Einödhof is a scattered settlement on the outskirts of Knittelfeld with approximately 28 inhabitants (as of April 10, 2024). The small settlement was located in the former municipality of Apfelberg; today it is located in the city of Knittelfeld, in the Murtal district (formerly Knittelfeld district), in the Austrian federal state of Styria.

The forestry supervision with hunting dogs is very strict and immediately carries out reports with trespassing charges

The ruins of this castle are located a few hundred metres from the Murtal cycle path and the view is tempting to pause and take in the view. An information board briefly tells the history of the building and the associated estate over the last 900 years.

Beautiful old castle, a must see

Although there is almost nothing left, it is an impressive building.
