The castle was built between 1124 and 1146 by the Bamberg prince bishops. In 1160, Emperor Friedrich I named Grivena Castle as Bamberg's property of old. Blood jurisdiction belonged to the castle until 1425. In 1292, Ulrich von Heunburg occupied the fortress during a rebellion against King Rudolf's son, Duke Albrecht I. In 1293 Ulrich had to leave the castle again. Bamberg rule ended in 1759. The castle was incorporated into the Carinthian rule. Then there were several successive owners, namely Maria Theresia, then Count Egger and finally the Freiherren von Helldorf.
