Schloss Waldreichs was first documented in 1258. Around 1400, Kaspar and Bernhard von Waldreichs are mentioned as feudal lords. After its destruction by an executionary army of the estates in 1446–1448, it was rebuilt as a fortress around 1450 under Hans Harrasser. The present-day ruin in the east wing, the chapel, and the eastern tower date from this period. In 1460, it was enfeoffed to Vinzenz Stodoligk. From 1519–1536, it was united with the Lordship of Ottenstein. Between 1530–1534, it was converted into a moated castle under Eustach Stodoligk. From 1533, it was a free property. In 1536, the complex passed to the Barons of Altena, who expanded it with a zwinger and a manor farm. After its conquest and plundering by imperial troops, the complex was rebuilt again and subsequently changed owners frequently. When it passed to Heinrich von Pereira-Arnstein in 1815, it was united with the Lordship of Wetzlas.

First mentioned in a document in 1258, in the Middle Ages Waldreichs belonged to a ring of fortified castles that were built to protect the Austrian Mark. Nothing remains of the original moated castle. In the area around Waldreichs Castle, the imperial master falconer and feudal knight Hanns Hager resided and dined from and to Allentsteig and Lichtenfels. After multiple changes of ownership and the threat of decay, the current owner, the Windhag Scholarship Foundation for Lower Austria, began to completely renovate the castle in 1983. The castle itself CANNOT be VISITED but only admired from the outside. Only those parts and the area where the Lower Austrian Falconry & Birds of Prey Center is located are freely accessible.
