history

The residential tower was built in the early Middle Ages and was first mentioned in a document in 1239. A ministerial family von Laudeck is documented as early as 1232 (court day of Duke Otto von Andechs in Innsbruck). The castle was the administrative seat of the Upper Court (Court of Laudeck) until the 17th century , and gradually fell into disrepair when the administrative seat moved to Ried im Oberinntal .

In 1406 the Oberinntaler joined the Appenzell peasant uprising under Itel Reding . Ladis was burned down, the castle and the stone castle, which served as a fortress (above the Tullenfeld on the way up from the Pontlatz bridge ), destroyed. In the years that followed, only the most necessary repairs were made. It was not until Emperor Max , who was also interested in the Oblader Sauerbrunn , that the castle was expanded again, but the funds that had been promised were not approved. It is documented as early as 1551 that the keeper of Laudeck resided in Sigmundsried Castle (built from 1471), and that the castle was only used as a warehouse or weapons depot. In the 17th century, new restorations were started, but the building remained desolate and fell into disrepair with the abandonment of the guardianship courts.

Partial restoration began in 1964.

The castle is privately owned, but can be visited once a week in July and August.
