    History<\/h3>\n
    \n

    Hochosterwitz Castle has been owned by the Khevenh\u00fcller family for 470 years. In 1541, first transferred as a feudal right to the provincial governor Christoph Khevenh\u00fcller by the emperor, it became the property of the provincial governor Baron Georg Khevenh\u00fcller in 1561, who extended it to its present state from 1570 to 1586 before his death in 1587.<\/p>\n

    In his will, which you can see carved in stone on the castle, he states that he built the castle for the benefit and protection of the people<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n
