history

According to a document from 1287, the area was a fief of the Lords of Eslarn. The property went to Freiherr von Teufel in 1579. In an engraving by Georg Matthäus Vischer from 1672, the castle is shown as a new building. The property went to the Kinsky family in 1722 , after which it was rebuilt and expanded. Then in 1760 the castle belonged to Franz Stephan von Lothringen and in 1797 it went to the Habsburg family fund. During the fighting in the Battle of Aspern in 1809, the castle was badly damaged and then restored. Between 1988 and 1991 the castle was adapted and restored.
