The Puchetwies Castle (also called Lembach Castle ) was in the municipality of Lembach in the Mühlkreis in the Rohrbach district of Upper Austria (today Buchetwies No. 9 and 11).

history

In 1328 a Christian, the court office of Lengenbach, is mentioned here. The fortress P (B) uchetwies is named in 1413 as the seat of Reinprecht II von Walsee ("the Vest Buochetwis") and was owned by the sovereign. It is said to have been destroyed by the Hussites in 1427 .

Siegfried von Pollheim acquired Lembach in 1500 and died here as an imperial captain in 1505. He was buried in the family crypt in Wels . Other owners of Lembach were the Starhemberger (1709-1720). This was followed by Karl Mayrhofer, Joseph Anton Vorauer (1750) and the Riederer. In 1855 it was named as the upper property of the Starhemberg family senorate. In 1871 the feudal relationship was canceled. Other owners were the Fierlinger couple (1879), the Finsterer family (1896), Marie Hackl (1931) and Ignaz Winkler (1953).

Puchetwies today

As early as the 20th century, the fortress is said to have only "had more walls and these were covered by grass". However, a multi-wing building complex rises at the location, which is likely to go back mainly to the fortress. The former “Finsterer Brewery” was also located here. A dairy is said to have been temporarily housed in the complex. Whether the existing masonry can be traced back to the former fortress remains to be seen without an archaeological finding. Today the components are used privately.
