Gessenberg near Waging has been preserved as a completely intact castle building from the 16th century. However, a noble family, the von Gozenperc family, already existed in the 12th century. The last noble family to live in the castle were the Auer von Winkl near Grabenstätt, whose last descendant died in Salzburg in 1836. After 1853 it was no longer a noble residence.
