Karlstein was first mentioned in 1112 as "Chadelstain." As a fiefdom, Karlstein belonged to the respective territorial princes, who granted this rule to knightly families, although no continuous dynasty established itself here. Since the castle was never owned by a single family for an extended period, it was continually rebuilt and expanded. Practically nothing remains of the original castle. In the following centuries, the border region was repeatedly raided by enemy armies (Ottokar, Hussites, Matthias Corvinus). After the suppression of the Peasants' Revolt in 1597, the leader, Andreas Schrembser, was presumably imprisoned in Karlstein Castle. In 1645, the Swedes besieged Karlstein Castle in vain. In 1663, it served as a refuge during the Turkish threat. In 1914, an internment camp was established in the castle, despite it being uninhabitable. The Montenegrin General Staff was also imprisoned there. After the war, the Hungarian communist leader Béla Kun was interned here. Later, the castle was used as a youth hostel, and in the 1960s, it also served as a guesthouse. The castle is now privately owned and no longer open to the public.

The Renaissance Schwarzenau Castle was first mentioned - as a castle at that time - in 1150. It was converted into today's castle in the 16th century. During the Second World War it was used as a refugee center and occupied by the Soviets. During these years, the once magnificent building was badly damaged. From 1991 the castle - again privately owned - underwent extensive renovations. Today the complex impresses with a park and pond as well as valuable decorated outbuildings such as a tavern and chapel. The latter is considered a popular wedding location.

In 1978 Dr. Martin Wolfer the already badly neglected building. Together with his wife he restored and revitalized the castle. It still serves as the family's summer home today.

Schwarzenau Castle is a Renaissance castle surrounded by a park. Swarcenawe Castle, which originally stood here, was first mentioned in documents in 1150. The builder is the Pilgrim von Schwarzenau, mentioned in 1197, a follower of Hadmar II von Kuenring. His castle was a moated castle with four towers to protect the old Horn - Schrems - Gmünd road. Around 1580 and 1592, the castle was expanded into a Renaissance moated castle using existing parts. After the state treaty, the castle came into private hands and was restored. From 1991 it was again open to the public for exhibitions. In 2019 the palace complex was acquired by the Bulgarian Monbat Group.

Dobersberg Castle is a four-wing Renaissance castle. Used as a municipal office and natural history museum.

In 1576 the castle was already known as the "desolate Veste Gillingberg". A year later it came to Anna von Mollart. Around 1590 her son Jakob Freiherr von Mollart had the castle, which still exists today, built in the Renaissance style below the castle ruins. In the 17th century it was changed to Baroque style. It was destroyed at the beginning of the 19th century but was soon rebuilt. In the period after World War II, it was badly neglected. Renovation work began in 1980. In the second half of the 20th century, Gilgenberg was part of the Wilheim estate administration. Today it is privately owned.
