The small castle is mentioned several times between 1196 and 1216 with Albero von Staleck. From 1212 dates the mention of Heinrich von Hartenstein and his two sons Albero von "Staleche" and Heinrich von Kaja, which identifies the Stallegger as related by tribe and partly even identical in person with the Lords of Kaja. Otto von Stallegg, mentioned in 1263, was one of the leading ministeriales of the country during the time of Przemysl Ottokar II. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the Stallegger appear repeatedly. Shortly after 1365, they are likely to have died out.
The dominion was united with that of Rosenburg in 1487. Stallegg Castle, no longer needed thereafter, had long ceased to meet the requirements of contemporary living culture. It had also long lost its strategic importance. It was therefore no longer inhabited and fell into disrepair. Around 1600, it was already referred to as a ruin. This still belongs today to the forest property connected with Rosenburg and is owned by the Counts Hoyos.
