History

Built in 1695 by Count Rudolf von Lintelo on the site of a medieval fortress destroyed during the Thirty Years’ War. This reconstruction transformed the castle into the baroque style that defines its appearance today. The hudetz tower was added in 1762 under Baron von Falkenberg, and the castle hosted a beer brewery until 1881.
