However, the Jegistorf holdings had already been divided and the castle remained out of Erlach hands until the 14th or 15th century.

[2][5] Through a combination of political marriages and purchases, in 1519, Johann von Erlach (1474–1539) became the ruler of the castle, the village, the herrschaft and the Jegenstorf court.

In 1913–1915 the house was renovated and modernized under Arthur Albert Vinzenz von Stürler.

After the death of Arthur Albert Vinzenz in 1934, the castle was purchased by a preservation association.

During the High Middle Ages it expanded to a castle with a keep, a corner tower, a housing wing and a central courtyard.

The main northern entrance into the keep was updated with a grand staircase, a balcony and decorative carvings.

Two of the most interesting are covered in blue glazed tiles and are signed and dated by Urs Johann Wiswalt in 1723.

The castle is surrounded by a large park with an 18th-century Orangery and a neo-Gothic pavilion which was built in 1890.
