The castle was until the 17th century towards the administrative seat of the High Court ( Court Laudeck ), and fell gradually, as the administrative center after Nauders moved.

1406, the Oberinntaler joined the Appenzell peasant uprising Itel Reding. Ladis was burnt, the castle and the castle serving as Vorwerk Steinegg (above the Tullenfeld on the way from the Pontlatz Bridge up ) destroyed. In subsequent years, was only the most necessary repairs, only under the Emperor Maximilian, who was also interested in the Oblader Sauerbrunn, the castle was indeed removed again something promised funds but not approved. Already in 1551 there is evidence that the caregiver of Laudeck in Castle Siegmundsried (built from 1471 ) resided, and the castle was only used more as a warehouse or weapons depot. In the 17th century, recent recoveries have been addressed, the building remained desolate, and finally fell with the task of Pflegschaftsgerichte.
