The first records of the castle date back to 1369. Originally called Rackendorf, the castle and estates have often changed hands over the centuries. In 1556 the knight Christoph Zoppl acquired the castle. He has jurisdiction in Rackendorf with 31 subjects and his tombstone with life-size armor can still be seen in the parish church. After his death, Raggendorff is owned by various noble families, including those of Herberstein, Sonnau and Liechtenstein.

The castle is now owned by Norbert Klenkhart. It was completely restored in 2012. Since 2016 it can be rented for weddings, private parties, seminars and other festivities.

In 1958 the first Ritter sparkling wine was bottled at Raggendorf Castle. At that time, RITTER SEKT was still a regional brand and the Klenkhart Castle Winery was a small family business. Today, almost 6 million bottles of sparkling wine and wine are sold worldwide every year.

In 2016, the Renaissance castle was lovingly restored by the castle's lord Norbert Klenkhart and gutted of various additions from the last decades. Since then, Raggendorf Castle has been used as an event castle with its spacious castle garden, idyllic courtyard and festive rooms.
