The massive building, located in the center of the market town of Pöggstall, dates back to the 13th century. It was expanded under Kaspar von Rogendorf at the end of the 15th century.

The castle belonged to the powerful Maissauers for a long time. From 1795 to 1919 it was owned by the family fund, which had been set up to provide the family members of Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Joseph II with part of the assets of Emperor Franz I.

The nearby castles of Persenbeug, Artstetten, Leiben and Luberegg formed the so-called "Habsburg Land". In 1919 the fund was expropriated in favor of the Republic of Austria and the property was transferred to the War Victims' Fund.

In 1986 it was purchased by the municipality of Pöggstall and is used as a museum and cultural venue.
