Once the Lavant Valley was owned by the diocese of Bamberg. In order to protect the valuable possessions against intruders around 1300 the castle Gomarn was established. Over the centuries, it was further expanded until it burned down completely in the late 18th century in a fire. The remaining remains of the wall still give you a good idea of the magnificent fortress construction.
