The castle was built and named by Albrecht von Perg (1120, † 1168), a member of the family of the Lords of Perg and Machland. After the Perg family died out, half of the castle passed directly to the Babenbergs, and the remaining half to the County of Plain and its successors, the County of Schaunberg. At the end of the 19th century, extensive reconstruction work was carried out under the Auersperg family. The castle was devastated during World War II in 1945. Since 1995, it has been owned by the Weinberger family and is being gradually renovated.
