Schloss Freudenstein was built in the beginning of the 13th century. Noble family Fuchs von Fuchsberg extended the originally two small castles complex at the end of the 16th century to an single large castle. The St. Andrew's chapel was built in 1519 and consecrated in 1532. In the end of the 19th century, Heinrich von Siebold renovated and extended the estate into the present appearance.

The castle is surrounded by a ring wall and contains numerous Gothic elements. The uncommon Italian name Castel Lodrone is derived from the Trentino noble family of Lodron from, who owned the estate from the 1716.
