The castle Grailach (Slovenian: Škrljevo , old: Chrilowa ) is a castle in Carniola in present-day Slovenia .
location
The castle is located on a hill west of the village of Škrljevo (German: Graiylach ) in the area of the parish Šentrupert (German: St. Ruprecht ), named after the patron saint of the parish, about nine kilometers northeast of Trebnje (German: Treffen ) and about six kilometers northwest by Mokronog (German: Nassenfuß ).
history
According to the Slovenian historian Milko Kos (1892–1972), it is said to have been mentioned for the first time in 1043. With reference to Father Martinus Bautscherus , Valvasor attributes the foundation of the castle to St. Hemma . Already Valvasor complained about the scant news when he wrote: “How much I searched diligently at what time and by whom this castle was first built and inhabited: I have neither the old writings nor documents, much less the authors , can give some news of this with the exception of Father Bautscherus. "
The Jesuit Bautscher , a contemporary of Valvasor , left a message written in Latin from which it emerges that St. Hemma brought the Grailach rule into the marriage among other goods : “[…] dotem attulit comitatum Peilnstein, castra Vizel, Landsberg , Weitenstein, Andernacum, Nassenfues, Grailach, Erkhenstein, ac alia praedia in Carniola sita [...]. "
According to Hemma's donation (1043), these goods belonged to the Benedictine monastery she founded on the Gurk in Carinthia until 1072 and then to the Gurk diocese , which the Grailach lordship gave as a fief in the 17th century .
owner
According to the current state of research, no news about the owners of the castle and the Grailach rule are known until the middle of the 16th century.
The brothers Adam and Sigismund von Auersperg were mentioned as the first names for the Grailach rule in 1541 . Johann Balthasar von Werneck followed in 1585 , Count Rudolph Barbo von Wachsenstein and Ruess von Ruessenstein (1613) by 1613. His successor as owner from 1613 to 1705 was Martin Khaysell , who was followed by the Barons von Langenmantel until 1785 . Subsequently, the owners are the barons of Pittoni (1785 to 1799), the Schuller family (1799 to 1834), from 1834 to 1885 Karl Vasič , who was the administrator of Auersperg, and from 1885 the Podobnik .
