The Rottenburg was first mentioned in a document in 1149. It was the ancestral seat of the originally Andechs ministerials from Rottenburg and was owned by them until the family died out in 1410. From 1410 onwards, it was in the care of the sovereign. In 1468 it went as a Tyrolean pawn loan to Mathias Türndl, 1474 to Lichtenstein, 1502 to Tänzl, 1515 to Schurff, 1567 to Schidenhofen. In 1594 the seat of the court was moved to Thurneck-Rotholz . This started the ruin of the castle. 1596 the castle went to Margrave Karl N. Burgau, 1613 at Pechio, 1672 at Wolfsthurn, 1704 as a fief to the Counts of Tannenberg, 1846 to the counts of Enzenberg, 1860 at the Episcopal Mensa Bressanone .
Castle ruins
On the top of the dome stands the rectangular main building, built by Duke Sigmund using older parts of the wall . On the upper floor, the remains of a bay window with corbels made of tuff have been preserved towards the southeast . Lying deeper, to the north was a fore-castle from the 13th century with four inwardly open shell towers . The last remaining shell tower was demolished at the beginning of the 20th century.

Saint Notburga von Rattenberg lived in the castle as the maid of the Lords of Rottenburg. In her honor, a chapel was built in the ruins from 1956 to 1957 by the architect Josef Menardi . The fresco Notburga legend in a round arch niche on the south side was painted by Carl Rieder . The crucifix was created by the sculptor Hans Buchgschwenter .
