history
This castle is the furthest to the west of the three castles that used to exist in this area, including Trautson Castle and Vogelbühel Castle .
The first written message comes from 1332, at that time the noble Heinrich Stöckl von Eben sold the castle hill, including the building and a tree garden, to Prince Heinrich II of Tyrol . The Stöckl were Ministeriale of the Counts of Tyrol and a branch line of the Lords of Matrei . Heinrich Stöckl is considered to be the builder of the tower, which was then passed on to his descendants. The property was connected to a castle hat . After 1337 it appears as a fief of Heinrich Rasp, who came from Carinthia. He was initially a judge at St. Petersberg in the Oberinntal and around 1340 he becomes court master of Margarethe Maultasch . In 1339 and 1340 he took part in uprisings against Margarethe's unloved husband, Johann Heinrich von Luxemburg , and was therefore briefly captured by his brother Karl and his goods were taken from him. In 1341 it was again a judge in the district court of Matrei and in 1351 it became general captain of the state of Venzon in Friuli . 1353 was an award Duke Albrecht II. Between Charles IV. And the Tyrolean sovereign Ludwig of Brandenburg of turnli again the Heinrich Rasp returned. The fame of Heinrich Rasp († 1367 or 1369) meant that the castle and the hill were subsequently named after him.
In 1395 Duke Leopold IV gave Hans Trautson the burgpüchel near Matran called des Raspen büchl , who had bought it from Gerbirg, Albrecht von Wehing's housewife. At that time, however, the castle was likely to have been in a state of disintegration, as the other deeds of lending only spoke of the Burgbühel, but no longer of a castle. These enfeoffments were repeated until the 18th century with almost identical words ( Raspenbühel, on which the old front fortress stood ).
Between 1550 and 1637 the mound consisting of clay deposits was partially dismantled by the Gstirner family from Matrei, which is why the name Leimbühel , which is still used today, came up.
