The earliest personality known to have had a castle here was knight Rudolf von St. Michael in 1150. The present castle is named after knight Eckert von Thann and Count Bartholomäus von Moosheim, who owned the castle in 1284 and 1530 respectively.
The Schrempf family acquired the castle in 1984 and opened it as a hotel in 1992.
