history

Buchberg was first mentioned in a document around 1160, when a ministerial of the Babenbergs , Heinrich von Buochperge , was resident. The Buchbergers can be traced back to the first third of the 13th century, when the castle came into the possession of the Falkenbergers , who from then on also called themselves Buchbergers . In 1330 half of the castle came into the possession of the Habsburgs, the other half acquired the Lords of Winkl in 1339 . From 1356 to the middle of the 15th century, the Stockhorn family owned the castle and rule. In 1823 the Croy family acquired the castle, and in 1965 it became the property of the Bogner family.

With the commissioning of the Kamptalbahn , Buchberg am Kamp developed into a little summer retreat .

local community

After 1945 the place could no longer follow the tradition of the summer resort. Changed travel habits, but also the construction of the Kamptal reservoirs, which led to a sharp drop in temperature in the Kamp, which is lined with numerous bathing establishments, deprived tourism in the Kamptal of its most important foundations. In 1938 the previously independent municipality was attached to the market town of Gars am Kamp , and in 1945 it became independent again. In 1971 it became part of the market town of Gars am Kamp as part of the amalgamation of the municipalities.
