history

The building was first mentioned in 1396 as Grießenhof . In 1581 the property was in the possession of Maxentina von Waltenhofen at their request by Prince Ferdinand of Tyrol as a noble free seat in Grießenstein . The sundial on the outer facade also dates from the same time . Since 1593 the owner was Paul II von Kripp-Prunberg. In 1612 he sold the residence to his brother-in-law Leopold Verdroß von Mals as a sovereign fiefdom . The latter was raised to the nobility on May 3, 1620 with the predicate Freisass zu Grießenstein . Through the marriage of his daughter Dorothea to Christoph Zöttl, the building came into the hands of the Zöttl family, who from then on carried the Zöttl zu Grießenstein rating and in 1693 had a baroque chapel built next to the house . In 1694 their daughter Maria Franziska Zöttl married Hans Joachim Vintler von Platsch. Grießenstein has been owned by farmers since the 19th century and at times belonged to the Widenstritt family.
