At the entrance to the Paznaun valley lies Castle Wiesberg, which is believed to have been built by the bishops of Chur in the 13th century. In the late 13th century, the property then passed into the possession of the Lords of Ramüs, who administered their estates from there. However, around 1330, a dispute arose with the regional lords of Tyrol, and the judge of Landeck occupied the castle. At the end of the 14th century, Castle Wiesberg was owned by the Rottenburgers, in 1770 it was then pawned to the Counts of Wolkenstein.

In 1809, there was a skirmish near the structure between the Stanzertal and Paznaun marksmen as well as Bavarian troops, with the regional defenders also supported by women and girls from the Paznaun valley. The dilapidated building was then purchased by the state railways in 1885, who built the Trisanna bridge there. After the completion of the bridge, Wiesberg was sold again, this time to a brewer from Saalfelden. He converted the castle into a luxury hotel, which, however, went bankrupt. In 1889, the castle was auctioned and the bid was won by Hermann Landfried from Heidelberg. In 1945, peace negotiations were conducted in the structure, later Wiesberg was occupied by American and French soldiers. Today, Castle Wiesberg is privately owned, and can therefore only be viewed from the outside.
