history
Duke Leopold III. allowed Hans von Starkenberg in 1380 to build the Kronburg fortress on a prominent rock spur 3 km east of Zams. In 1423, after a failed uprising by the Starkenbergers against Duke Friedrich IV , the castle fell into the hands of the sovereign, who now appointed his own court clerk , so in 1434 Vrban Sigwein phleger on Kronburg . Archduke Siegmund pledged the castle to the Salzburg canon Ruprecht von Rindsmaul in 1485 . In 1502, the later Emperor Maximilian I redeemed it and gave it to his councilor, Hans Fieger the Middle, to purchase as a fief .
During the Fieger period, a chapel (1673), later a pilgrimage church (1715), was built on the saddle below the castle. In 1802 the Fieger died out and the entire property reverted to the state. During Napoleon's time , Kronburg was owned by the Bavarian government. This sold the entire Kronburggut to the farmer Sebastian Stocker. In 1845 Kaplan Krismer acquired the approximately 90 hectare property and built a monastery next to the church . The chaplain's attempt to establish an institute for school brothers in 1858 failed after just one year.
In 1860 the poor school sisters of Munich bought Kronburg. Seven years later the property was sold to the Terziar Sisters.
In 1952, the Kronburg Terziar Sisters merged with the Hallein school sisters due to a lack of young people . In 2004 Kronburg was offered for sale again. After the state government rejected the division and sale of Kronburg to the agricultural community of Zams and a private interested party, the Sisters of Charity from Zams took over Kronburg in December 2005.
