The Ansitz Thurnhof (also called Thurnschlössl ) is located in the Flachau municipality in the St. Johann im Pongau district of Salzburg . The seat is u. a. made famous by the fact that Salome Alt and her children were brought to safety in Flachau by their partner Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau in 1611 from the advancing Bavarian troops .
history
The Admont included from the year 1074 large areas of Enns - and Fritz valley . The knightly lords of Flachau, as fiefs of the monastery, were the owners of the Flachau and the Thurnhof. Heinrich von Flachau is mentioned here for the first time in 1160, Marquard von Flachau in 1290 and Otto von Flachau in 1299.
This family disappears in the middle of the 14th century and is replaced by the Gärr, who have been recorded in Salzburg from South Tyrol since the 12th century. A tombstone in the cloister of St. Peter's Monastery , which shows his coat of arms with a ger , testifies to Hermann Gärr, who died around 1300 . Either he or his descendant Konrad, a judge in Radstadt and married to Lucy von Schernberg , bought the tower in Flachau. The next Gärr was also called Konrad and was a judge in Radstadt and Lungau ; he called himself Gärr bei der Enns or Gärr vom Garrenhof . His son Konrad called himself von Flachau in 1380 . Then followed a Niklas Gärr and a Georg Gärr, who called himself from the tower in Flachau . This was involved in the Igelbund . In 1432 the abbot of Admont released him from all taxes that he had to pay for his fiefdom on the Enns since the tower rose . From the marriage contract of Georgs with Katharina Kalchosberger it emerges that this Gärr also received fiefs from the Archbishop of Salzburg. In 1460 Konrad and Dorothea Gärr were entrusted with it. After the death of Georg († 1473), his daughters Benigna and Dorothea applied for the goods to be lent to them. Archbishop Bernhard von Rohr agreed that, as an exception, Benigna's husband, Jakob Schlafhauser, was enfeoffed with it. After the end of the Gärr family in 1496, another Kristan am Thurn in the Flachau is named.
In 1539 Urban and Brigitte Neupacher lived on the Meierhof belonging to the tower ; this was followed by the daughter Veronika and then Georg and David the Neupacher. In 1580 the property was acquired by Michael Klingmoser, city judge of Radstadt and married to Sophie nee Seibl von Eppan . Klinglmoser was an aspiring civil servant whose aristocratic origins were uncertain despite his marriage to a woman from the dynasty of the Counts of Eppan. When his son Christoph took over his father's property, he was reprimanded by his cousin, the tradesman Martin Strasser von Neudegg, because of his uncertain knightly origin. Due to the imperial freedom of nobility, he took on a title he called himself Christoph Klinglmoser zum Thurn . His widow Sabina von Graben zum Stain bequeathed the free tower and the farm belonging to it to the Vicariate Church in Radstadt. When the inheritance occurred in 1641, the tower was left to the Thurnhof farmer for further use. Other owners were: Ruprecht and Veit Neupacher (1604), Georg and David, sons of Veit; David's son - also named Veit - buys his cousin's share from his cousin. In 1666 Veit married Barbara Puchsteiner and passed it on to his son Hans, who was married to Ursula Steger from 1708. This is followed in 1742 by a Veit, married to Maria Clara Laubichler, and on this followed by a Thomas in 1787, married to Maria Steger since 1802. Then followed Rupert Neupacher (1819) as well as Anna Neupacher and her husband Markus Rupert Scharfetter (1847). In 1861 Schafretter became the sole owner. In 1876 he sold the farm to Franz and Katharina Klieber, who then again to Georg and Katharina Buchsteiner (1887).
Michael Laubichler bought the farm in 1892. In 1933 it was passed on to Elisabeth Laubichler. She is inherited by her nephew Franz and his wife Maria Laubichler (1958). The Laubichler family (Thurnhofbauer) still own the property today.

The tower lies within a 40 m diameter ditch ring. This suggests that it was once surrounded by water. The entrance is on the east side. In the west there is an inward-facing loopholes that are embedded in the one meter thick wall.
The floor plan of the tower is 7 × 7 m. He has three storeys and a hipped gable roof covered. An elliptical skylight is cut out on the north and south sides. The roof was only put on at the end of the 19th century, before the tower was described as "lying in ruins". The corners of the building are formed by local stones protruding from under the plaster. There are two windows on each floor on the east and west sides. In the past, the windows were likely to have been secured by shutters, as suggested by the wooden parts with iron hinges embedded in the masonry. In the basement there are two windows in their original condition, in the east there is a walled-up arched window. There are wooden tram ceilings throughout the building, only the smoke kitchen on the first floor has a vault made of brick walls. Four fireplaces can still be seen, which show that several (refugee) families lived here after the First World War . A door on the first floor with a wrought iron hinge shows carvings (HT 1720 VT = Hans and Veit Neupacher-Turner).
The Thurnhof (Feuersang 6) itself has been rebuilt several times. At the southeast corner there is still an old building stock. Two sundials are attached to the walls. The windows still have the old wrought iron bars and shutters. Inside is a remarkable granite column from the early 16th century on which the vault rests. On the first floor is a room with paneling, a coffered door and wall boxes with animal and flower motifs. The beam ceiling shows the number 1634. The farm has recently been redesigned like a hotel. The tower still belongs to this property.
