The Göllersdorf Castle, a Renaissance building from the 16th century, in which elements from around 1460 have been preserved, and in which the Göllersdorf prison is housed today, has belonged to the von Puchheim family since the 14th century . Göllersdorf becomes historically significant through the contract between Emperor Ferdinand II and Wallenstein (" Agreement of Göllersdorf "), concluded in Göllersdorf Castle on April 14, 1632 at a meeting between Albrecht von Wallenstein and the Imperial First Minister Johann Ulrich von Eggenberg was reinstated as commander in chief of the imperial army.

In 1711 the Electoral Mainz minister Melchior Friedrich Graf von Schönborn-Buchheim acquired the dominions of Göllersdorf, Mühlberg and Aspersdorf from the last Puchheimer, the bishop of Wiener Neustadt, Count Franz Anton Buchheim. Melchior Friedrich's son, the Imperial Vice Chancellor (and later Prince-Bishop) Friedrich Karl von Schönborn-Buchheim , who lived in Vienna , commissioned the architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt to convert the Mihlberg Fortress, which was on the property, into a representative country palace (1711–1718), the south from Göllersdorf located Schönborn Palace .
