Its history and beginnings reach back to the beginning of the 13th century, while its defense towers and two powerful bastions were built in the 16th century. From 1538 until World War II, the Auerspergs from Turjak owned the castle. During the war, the castle was bombed and almost totally destroyed. Renovations began in the 1960's, and since 1996 summer events and the annual Medieval Days have been held in the castle.
