The Winterhof was a noble seat that was built on a hill by the Stainzer Lembitzers before 1350 . Around 1500 it was owned by Albrecht Prantner, who had it largely expanded. In 1622 the 18-year-old Georg Prantner had to sell one half to Christoph Hagen. Christoph Hagen had previously married his wife Juliana Prantner and was now able to acquire the second half of the owner. In 1662 the reunited estate and castle came to their son Wolf Siegmund, when Wolf Siegmund died, Juliana Prantner married Niklas Graf von Lodron and in 1687 handed everything over to her son Josef Anton Graf Lodron, who further expanded the castle and in 1710 it passed to his heir Johann Galler associated with the rule of Lannach . It was abandoned just 6 years later and fell into disrepair, almost 70 years later it was demolished and deleted from the land board in 1889 .
