The nearby Pass Lueg between Hagengebirge and the Tennen mountains were already in the Bronze Age is an important transition, which proves the discovery of a ridge helmet.

A moth of wood could have been the precursor of the 13th century stone-built hilltop castle site. In 1325 it was the Kuchlern, a Salzburg noble family, over against a fee of 300 pounds of silver pennies. But soon they sold them to the Archbishop of Salzburg. From now on, ordered nurses were employed as manager of the Castle by the Archbishop.

1722 visited Prince Archbishop Franz Anton Harrach Castle and let them renovate and equip with a heated Fürstenzimmer.
