From 1879 to 1883, the Viennese industrialist Jean Roth built a villa on Lake Grundlsee based on the plans of his brother and architect Franz Roth, which he used as a hunting lodge.
After Austria was annexed by Hitler's Germany, the Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and his family used the castle.

Bloody tragedy
On the night of September 4th to 5th, 1939, two shots were fired in the house. The castle actor Attila Hörbiger, who also lived in the villa, broke into the rooms where the shots had been fired after breaking a window and found two bodies there. The victims of the tragedy were the son of the owner of the villa, 23-year-old Dr. Georg Roth and his 22-year-old bride Trude Kuntner. Dr. Roth first shot his bride and then took his own life with a shot in the head. No suicide notes were found

The villa is privately owned and can therefore only be viewed from the outside.
