The former medieval castle was converted into a Renaissance palace by the noble Hager family between 1544 and 1570.
When the German Reich built the Allentsteig military training area in 1938, where up to 60,000 soldiers were stationed at times, it made the castle the headquarters of the command. It retained this function when it was handed over to the Republic of Austria after the Russian occupation from 1945 to 1955.
The castle is still the headquarters of the TÜPL command today
