Built around the middle of the 14th century by the lords of Puchberger, it changed owners several times and suffered damage during the War of the Austrian Succession. Largely torn down in the 19th century because its walls threatened to collapse onto the houses below, it now shows only fragments of its outer walls and traces of vaulting.
