The castle has been rebuilt at least five times over 700 years, evolving from a small early gothic castle to a baroque fortress. It was first built in 1260-1270. The castle has never been conquered, probably because of the location and the massive fortress. In 1762 there was a big fire in the castle and it was completely destroyed. A lot of repairs were made, but the castle is still undergoing restoration.
