Groebendorf residence
The Gröbendorf residence (also known as Gravindorf or Gräbendorf ) is located in the Gröbendorf district of the Mariapfarr municipality in the Lungau of the State of Salzburg (Gröbendorf 21).
history
Gröbendorf is mentioned for the first time in 1074, whereby the Gravindorf is mentioned in the foundation letter of Archbishop Gebhard for Admont Abbey . Wicpoto von Gravendorf (1314) and the brothers Gregor and Otto von Grebendorf (around 1320) appear as family members of the Lords of Gröbendorf . Since 1344 Gröbendorf has been called gesäzz . According to a report from 1359, Ulrich von Gröbendorf and his housewife appear as fiefdoms . These allow their son Otto to assign an amount of money as a morning gift for his wife Katharina. Around 1400 the mansion passed to the Grimming familyover. In 1433 a Hans Grimming is named here and then his housewife and widow Dorothea. During this time, an extension to the high medieval tower takes place. In 1533, Balthasar Grimming exchanged the Gröbendorf residence for his brother-in-law Christoph Horner . 1576 Ursula Grimming is mentioned here, who also owned the tower of St. Margarethen . In 1685 the manor belonged to the manorial lordship of the Counts Firmian ( an aristocratic seat in Gröbendorf, so there is a brick-built Stöckhl and the Gärtl ). After 1779 the property passed into the hands of the farmers and was added to the neighboring mushroom estate.
Gröbendorf residence today
In a fire in the neighboring courtyard after the First World War , the building, which had already become a ruin, was damaged again; then the rear eastern part of the wall was demolished and the building was only temporarily covered. The previously mentioned spacious cellars of the residence have collapsed. In 2011 part of the outer wall collapsed, and an archaeological rescue operation to secure the building was carried out in 2012.
The remains of the high medieval and late Gothic mansion lie between the Taurach and the Pilzgut, in the middle of the village of Gröbendorf. The original residence extended to the Taurach. In the 13th century a tower typical for the area with the dimensions of 10 × 6 m can be assumed as a defense structure. Of this, only the western wall is left as the rear of the current building. A wing that is still visible today was built on the older tower with a construction joint made of small stone material. Two door openings were uncovered in the east wall of the building. At the northern opening, the individual parts of its simply stepped door jamb (presumably the original entrance to the high medieval tower) with round arches made of light brown limestone tuff could be recovered and moved again.
The not particularly large building is covered by a monopitch roof . Inside there is a small barrel-vaulted room with stitch caps, an east-west corridor with groin vaults and a staircase. The remains of a paneled (but charred) wooden coffered ceiling can still be seen on the first floor.
