History
In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1274 where it was mentioned as one of the first three townships in Austria-Hungary.
In 1869 Michael Thonet created a factory for bentwood furniture.
In the village, there is an originally renaissance castle from the start of the 17th century, rebuilt into a baroque style in the 18th century, and at the end of the 19th century, completely rebuilt into a romantic neogothic style. Today, the castle is owned by a descendant of the Thonet family.
