This medieval hilltop castle was built in the 12th century by Gottschalk Schirling (from 1166 of Neitberg/Neuberg), son of Wulfing von Stubenberg, as a border fortress or "fighting castle" against the feared Hungarian armies and against all sorts of "pagan rabble" from the East.

A beautiful Marterl (shrine) here at the road fork. Right next to it, you will also find a resting place.
