The castle is located on the sloping steps of a former vineyard. The castle is an irregular medieval complex with a 14th-century tower, which was significantly altered in the 16th, 18th and 20th centuries. Documented the plant is first mentioned in 1243 as the possession of the Wülfling of the Thurn. 1480 belonged to the castle Wolfgang Fuchs and after him, 1520, Sebastian von Reisberg. 1545 went the estate and Veith von Eibiswald, under whose son Amelreich, the construction of 1580-1590 was extended. In 1675 it was bought by Archbishop Gandolf of Salzburg, who left the castle in 1679 to the cathedral of St. Andrä. Between 1859 and 1916 it was owned by the Jesuit order. After several changes of ownership, it was finally acquired by the Hollinger family. On the south side, two pillars border the dominating, two-storey Palas. On its eastern side, there is a bay window resting on gothic figurative Kragsteinen with the coat of arms of the Reisberg. To the east of this, there is a tower whose tent roof is crowned by an onion turret. The round tower in the northeast is the former keep. To the west, next to a tower-like rotunda, is the former drawbridge gate.
