Graz traces its history back to the Schlossberg Castle, which was built on the mountain in the 12th century. Three times the Turks tried to take the fortress, but all attempts were unsuccessful. And only when the Napoleonic troops captured the city, they were able to blow up the Schlossberg. Now almost nothing remains of the castle.
