history
At the site of today's castle, a defense structure was built in the 10th century to protect the road over the Packsattel . Emperor Otto III. donated the area around the Packsattel including the fortifications to the Eppensteiners . After the Eppensteiners became extinct, the property passed to the Lords of Wildon , from whom it came after 1300 to the Lords of Walsee , who united it with their Lordship of Krems . When Hartnit von Pettau acquired the defense structure in 1362, it was already called "Roseck". Hartnit later pledged the property to Konrad Plankenwarter, who in turn pledged it to Otto von Stubenberg at the end of the 14th century . The estate came by purchase in 1403 as a free self- Friedrich and Ulrich von Stubenberg. In 1420, Hermann Graf von Montfort acquired Gut Pack from Friedrich von Stubenberg and reunited it with the Krems rulership. When the Turks devastated the surrounding area in 1480, Roseck Castle was not spared either, which at that time was only weakly fortified.
The trades Francis of Ungnad at Waldstein replaced in 1543 by the Count of Montfort goods pack and Modriach for goods in Eggenfeld in order to charcoal for its iron hammers to arrive. Since Franz von Ungnad was a devout Protestant near Waldenstein , he had to leave Styria later. Hans and Ludwig von Ungnad neglected the property and since tax arrears increased, it was seized by the Styrian countryside and sold to Baron Siegmund Friedrich von Herberstein in 1584. This united it for the third time with his rule Krems. Max Laymann is documented as lords of the castle from 1629 and Salomon von Maillegg from 1634. Between 1638 and 1846 the estate belonged to the Counts Saurau , who connected it to their Ligist rule in 1750 . The remaining fortifications were dismantled in the 17th century. In 1810, Emperor Franz II , who was passing through, dined in the castle. In 1870 the castle came to the municipality of Pack and has served as a parsonage ever since . The diocese of Graz-Seckau established a youth home in the north wing in the late 20th century.

The current palace building dates from the beginning of the 16th century and it is a massive, undivided two-storey Renaissance building with a hook-shaped floor plan. The exterior facades are largely unadorned. The northern wing of the building, also popularly known as the "old tower", is the oldest part of the facility. It was built on the site of the original defense structure, has about 1.3 meters thick walls and was partly built into the rock. The east wing connects to the north wing at a right angle and dates from the second half of the 16th century, but has been structurally changed several times in the course of its history. It was damaged by fire in 1768 and had to be replaced. Most of the larger rooms were also made smaller by subdivision and the originally vaulted interior rooms were modernized. A vaulted hall in the north-eastern part of the ground floor was retained in its original form. The coats of arms of the former owners attached to the building all date from the 20th century.
The former fortifications have not been preserved as they were dismantled in the 17th century.
