Landstein Castle was built after 1222 at the latest to secure the then troubled Bohemian-Austrian border. It was probably built on the initiative of the Bohemian King Ottokar I Přemysl.

In 1771, a fire caused by lightning destroyed Landstein Castle. After that, the castle was no longer inhabited. Subsequently, parts of the remaining walls were used as building material in the surrounding villages. The last owners were the Austrian Sternbach family, who were expropriated in 1945.

The main wall with two towers and the Romanesque chapel have been preserved from the originally large castle complex. From 1972 security measures followed, followed by an extensive reconstruction. The castle has been open to the public since 1990.
