The well-protected Matzen hill was already a settlement in the Bronze Age. The Roman "Masciacum" was built to fortify the Roman road in the Lower Inn Valley. Matzen Castle was built there in the Romanesque style in the 12th century. The castle's ownership and appearance changed over the centuries. The various owners give names to the castle's rooms and suites.

The castle was first mentioned in 1167, owned by the Knight von Freundsberg.
