The name of the castle is probably derived from the Kelberharder family, who came into possession of what was then the moated castle around 1329. The Kelberharders moved to Strannersdorf and Grafenwörth before 1384.

Afterwards, the Steinberger family temporarily named themselves after Kälberhart. A Hertel Kälberharter is mentioned in 1389. The Steinbergers lost the residence to Hans Grill in 1420, but soon regained it. In 1470 Jörg Seusenegker sold Kälberhart to Wenzel Stainberger. The small castle was already considered derelict in 1534 and in 1548 it was described as a desolate building. Ownership changed quite frequently over the next few decades. In 1599 Ferdinand von Concin zu Weissenberg and Plankenstein was enfeoffed with Kälberhart.

Peter Hofmann von Ankerskron had owned the facility since 1637. Maybe he was the one who gave her the shape she has today. His descendants sold Kälberhart to Leopold Philipp Graf Montecucolli, whose widow passed it on to Johann Ignaz von Albrechtsberg in 1698. His son Jordan united it with his Strannersdorf estate. In 1782 Karl Freiherr von Seldern bought the two properties. In 1876 the Counts Barth von Barthenheim followed, then the knights Mitscha-Märheim and the Reich-Rohrwig family.

Today the property is owned by the König family and has been extensively renovated.
