Petronell Castle was rebuilt after previous buildings (medieval castle, Renaissance castle) from 1660 to 1667 by Dominico Carlone (around 1615-1679) in the form of a four-winged castle complex for the Abensperg-Traun family in the early Baroque style.
The castle was owned by the Abensperg and Traun families for 17 generations and was sold to a private investor in 2006.
