A farm used to stand on the south-east corner of the town. The "new" castle was built on its site from the Hungarian period after 1486 until the 18th century. Over the centuries, the owners were the Eitzing, Krausenegg and Hoyos families, before the Retz estate was acquired by the Imperial Court, War and Finance Councillor Konstantin Josef von Gatterburg in 1709. After the Baroque renovation from 1712, the building remained essentially unchanged.

The fourth town tower that was originally here collapsed soon after it was built due to construction defects and erosion.
