The castle was built from 1701 to 1711 by Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt as a hunting lodge for Emperor Charles VI. built. Under his daughter Maria Theresia, it was rebuilt by the court architect Franz Anton Hillebrandt and became the summer residence of Albert of Saxe-Teschen and Archduchess Marie Christine as governors in Hungary. Frescoes by Franz Anton Maulbertsch also date from this period, including the ceiling fresco “Allegory of Time and Light”, which was made as a wedding present for Archduchess Marie Christine in 1765.
