\n\t\tIn 1299, Ulrich von Walsee-Graz purchased Riegersburg. Until 1363, it was owned by the Styrian Walsee family, after which it was inherited by the Upper Austrian Walsee-Enns line. \n\nDuring the so-called \u201cWalsee Feud\u201d in 1412, Duke Ernest the Iron managed to capture the \u201cLower Fortress\u201d, and the main castle, \u201cKronegg\u201d, capitulated. Just five years later, however, the Walsee family regained possession of the castles. This experience may have prompted them to build the \u201cEselsteig\u201d as a secondary access route.\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\tFreifrau Elisabeth Katharina Wechsler married Hans Wilhelm Freiherr von Galler. This marriage produced her only child - her daughter Regina. The resolute lady of the castle, subsequently referred to as \"Galler\", went down in the history of Styria as an extremely distinctive and energetic personality. She was popularly known as \"Liesl the Bad\" because she did not shy away from any confrontation and conducted numerous lawsuits. She did not leave the command and management of the Riegersburg dominion to her husband, as was proper, but lived out her \"love of building\" and essentially gave the extensive fortress its present form.\nAfter the death of her first husband, she married Colonel Freiherr von Kapell, who fell victim to the war four years after their marriage. She divorced her third husband, Baron Hans Rudolf von Stadl, who was about 35 years younger!\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
