The keep of the Fröhlichsburg is 33 m high and has a circumference of 33.5 m. The Fröhlichsburg was often portrayed as a Roman building because of the keep (also called "Bergfrit") and the Roman inscriptions that were found near the tower. The keep was also a court seat. The castle complex was built in the 12th and 13th centuries by the Lords of Mals (Matsch), who were first mentioned in 1149. From the end of the 16th century, the Lords of Fröhlich owned the castle, which has borne their name ever since.
