The complex was first mentioned as the seat of the Udalschalk von Wald in 1140. In the 15th century, Jörg Scheck von Wald expanded the complex like a castle. In 1485, the troops of Matthias Corvinus stormed the castle, which was expanded in the Renaissance style by the Lords of Greiß in the 16th century. In 1683 the Turks conquered the castle. The Spindler von Hofeck family was the owner from 1687 to 1782. They were followed by Count Fuchs von Fuchsberg until 1817. This year, Jerome Bonaparte appears briefly as an exile under the name Hieronymus Fürst von Montfort as the owner. The next owner was Franz Freiherr von Pillersdorf. Between 1847 and 1928, forest belonged to Count Haugwitz. From 1848 onwards they had the new castle added to the old castle. Baron Friedrich Baratta-Dragom, a grandson of Karl Wilhelm Graf Haugwitz, eventually took over the estate, but had to have it auctioned off during the global economic crisis in 1930. The buyer was Prince Karl Auersperg-Breunner, whose family still owns it today.
