Wolfsegg Castle dates back to the 13th century. Having stood in town for so long it has become a major part of the village’s landscape and influenced its surrounding community greatly. It was built by a wealthy man known as Ulrich Von Laaber to act as a strategic stronghold for the area. Though the castle never had to act as a defensive structure, it was important to provide peace of mind for its community. Wolfsegg Castle mostly acted as lodging for traveling troops. It was later abandoned and left to the community who used it as a shelter for families in need, though leaving it in desperate need of rejuvenation. Finally, the castle was largely restored by a wealthy and eccentric man. These restoration efforts continue today and are performed largely by a team of volunteers
