German term or phrase: Schloss zu Hof

The context for this term is the following:

Im Frühling 1850 begann die Arbeit, die Kirche wurde um drei Klafter verlängert, ungefähr so weit die Emporkirche reicht. Der Maurermeister Joseph Oberegger, Schloss zu Hof führte die Arbeit dem alten Schiffe zurück, im übrigen blieben dieselben unverändert, zugleich setzte man die gegenwärtigen Stühle neu hinein und deckte das Dach bis hinauf zum Prespiterium.

My translation so far is:

In the spring of 1850, the work began to lengthen the church 3 fathoms, about as far as the gallery stretches. The master builder Joseph Oberegger, Schloss zu Hof, led the work back to the old nave, the details remained unchanged. At the same time, the current chairs were newly installed and the roof was covered all the way up to where the elected elders sat.

I don't understand the term Schloss zu Hof at all. My only guess now is that it is an appositive (noun phrase naming the one right beside it) for Joseph Oberreger.
