history

Rear view

The castle is believed to have been built in the 16th century. Previous buildings are not known. In 1594 Georg Leonhard and Rudolf von Stoitzing were the owners, in the 17th century Franz Graf Nadasdy von Pottendorf. After Count Nadasdy was executed, the castle passed into the possession of Niklas Palffy, Count von Erdőd and a few years later to Julius Friedrich Count Busselini. The castle was not taken in the Turkish Wars around 1683. In 1709 the rule came into the possession of Christoph Ernst Graf Fuchs von Bimbach. His widow sold it to Count Leopold Carl Cavriani in 1715 . He rebuilt the building in the baroque style and gave it a new facade. The property remained in his family until 1932, when the castle was sold to the Riedemann-Ledebur couple.

After the Second World War , the building was badly devastated and the inventory was lost. The building itself was sold to a hotel AG and the estate business elsewhere.

The castle has been owned by a trading company since 1971. The appearance is, however, almost identical to that drawn by Georg Matthäus Vischer in 1672 .

In 2012 the castle is a film set for the film Alles nur Kulisse , a comedy of confusion around the "Kiss" by Gustav Klimt by Wolfgang Murnberger .
