history
The history of the origins of Fischau Castle is not recorded in the documents. The forerunner of the castle was the so-called "permanent house". The "permanent house" dates from the middle of the 12th century and was a small, fortified complex. The members of the Starhemberg family appear as gentlemen , according to documents from the 12th century. In the 13th and 14th centuries it was owned by the Teuffenbach family . The Counts of Heussenstein received the castle from Emperor Ferdinand I in 1561 with a pledge , and in 1577 they bought it. The family of Counts Heussenstein, sometimes also called Heussenstamm, owned the estate and the castle from 1577 to 1817. In 1728 a major renovation took place.
Under Archduke Rainer , a reconstruction took place in 1830, which gave the castle its present form. In the years 1999 to 2003 the castle was completely renovated.
