The castle, built in 1278, controls the whole Saint Gallener valley. In the Middle Ages it served the Admont monastery as a place of refuge, which could never be taken. Unfortunately, not much is left of the former glory of the castle. However, after restoration some of its former beauty is still apparent. By the way: Gallenstein translated to English means .... gallstone
