Emperor Leopold I, with a certificate dated February 27, 1696, elevated him, together with his legitimate descendants, to the sought-after baron class with the honorary designation "zu Rietberg and Straßberg". Through his wife Narcissa von Planta-Rietberg he had received the castle and property as a marriage property. Rietberg is located in the Domleschger Valley and was the summer residence of the Buol-Schauenstein family.

Until 1693, the whole house of those of Buol still confessed to the Reformed Church. In that year, however, Baron Paul Buol zu Rietberg and Straßberg returned to the Catholic Church. With this change of denomination, he lost all of his public offices and his land rights in the Ten Court League were withdrawn.

Around 1675 he built a house in Chur, which has housed the Rhaetian Museum since 1872.

His final resting place is in the crypt of St. Luziuskirche (Chur) (formerly the Bishop's Church). The grave plate bears the following inscription:
