The imposing castle high above the Feistritz valley was probably built in the 12th century. Between 1922 and 1924, the complex was extensively renovated and an army museum was set up, which no longer exists. Today, the castle houses an event center with rooms.

Feistritz Fortress was probably built by ministerials in the second quarter of the 12th century. The castle was owned by the Pottendorf family from the 14th century until 1488 and by the Zinzendorf family until 1537. The complex passed to the Rottal family in 1547 and to the Lords of Pergen in 1681. From 1796 to 1815 the castle had changing owners, including Joseph Freiherr Dietrich von Dietrichsberg in 1815. In 1922 Maximilian Mautner bought the castle and, together with architect Marischka, undertook a comprehensive renovation until 1924. An army museum was set up in the castle, the holdings of which are now in the Military History Museum in Vienna.

After 1960 the complex was adapted into a conference center for group events.
