Schloss Bayerhofen was first mentioned in a document in 1239, but it may have originated as early as the 9th century. The original purpose of the castle was to secure the bridge over the Lavant. It received its current appearance in 1566 under Mathias Freydl. During the Counter-Reformation, it was a stronghold of the Lutherans. In 1777 it partially burned down, and in 1803 it was in a "neglected state", as the chronicles say. The castle is a large, irregular 2-3 story complex from the 2nd half of the 16th century, surrounding an inner courtyard. The three-story west wing is originally Gothic, with three gables on the facade and three parallel hipped roofs. The courtyard facade consists of three-sided, two-story arcades from 1560/1565. The ground floor features massive columns, while the upper floor has delicate columns, twice as many in number. A street-facing wall connects the castle to a 16th-century outbuilding to the north. The castle was restored in 1996/97 in the color scheme of its construction period. Currently, Schloss Bayerhofen is considered a sensitive area, as it is located in the middle of Wolfsberg and is the oldest building in the city. A hotel and a gastronomy business are planned to be housed in the castle, which is partially a listed building.
