Droß Castle, formerly also called Droß Castle, is a listed castle.
1156 "Ruediger de Drozze" is mentioned for the first time. The castle chapel of St. George is mentioned as early as 1135. In 1295 the castle became sovereign. In 1427, Albrecht V gave the castle as a fief to Georg Mühlfelder, subject to the patronage of the church, in view of the services rendered in the defense against the Hussites. His descendants are enfeoffed by King Ladislaus Postumus with the entire Droß Castle, but again with the exception of the Droß church patronage.
