Polzing Castle

The Polzing Castle is an abandoned lowland complex and was located in the district of the same name in the Geboltskirchen municipality in the Grieskirchen district of Upper Austria (Polzing No. 4, Gugeneder Gut)

history

Polzing (Polasingas) is first mentioned in 776, when Count Macheln von Lambach donated the place to the church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Freising. He himself had received the property from Duke Odilo around the year 740.

Polzing (Polsinge) was a seat of followers who also sat at the neighboring Gröming Castle . Well-known family members of the followers were: Wernhard (1250), Otto (1279), Ulrich and his sons Helmhart and Ulrich (1293, 1307), Wernhardt (1324), Heinrich (1331), Ulrich (owner of Köppach Castle between 1339 and 1355 ), Meinhart (1368), Ulrich (1380 carer at Starhemberg Castle ) and Georg (1391 at Roith Castle ).

In 1400, HansAnnexer, owner of Roith Castle , bought the seat in Polzing from his cousins ​​Joachim and Peter and their sons Theobald and Vinzenz. Presumably Joachim and Peter lived in the Polzing seat only occasionally, as Joachim was a nurse at Steyr in 1394 and Peter Angler calls himself "zu Köppach" in the same year. In 1411, Peter the Follower was enfeoffed with Hausruck Castle by Duke Albrecht V of Austria .

Hans Annexer was married to Elisabeth, a Jörger's daughter, in 1400. Both had no children and so the heirs of the followers in 1455 became Jörger von Tollet . The abandoned parts of the castle probably fell victim to a fire in 1600.

Polzing Castle today

The pond surrounding the former castle can still be clearly seen on the section from the Franziszeische Cadastre at the beginning of the 19th century. The Meierhof of the castle is number 12 in Geboltskirchen. A hill-shaped elevation could be seen next to this estate until the end of the 1960s, and remains of a pond were still there. The pond by the castle has apparently been filled in recently.

Several legends report about Polzing Castle, including the assertion that an escape route led from an earth stable in Geboltskirchen to the Polzing seat.
