The Peace Castle Schlaining was mentioned for the first time in 1271 as "castrum Zloynuk" and was at that time in the possession of the Güssing Counts. Only gradually did the name change before it was officially known under its present name in 1786. In the 15th century, the castle came into the possession of the knight Andreas Baumkircher.
