history
At the beginning of the 16th century, an episcopal keeper lived in the Spornburg , after which it was abandoned and fell into disrepair. In 1690 it fell back to the County of Hals through a border treaty with Bavaria . Between 1816 and 1819, parts of the castle wall were used to build the parish church in Hals. Franz Stockbauer, the founder of the Löwenbrauerei Passau , bought the castle in 1907 and expanded it into a country residence. At the end of the Second World War it was temporarily used as a refugee camp . Today the castle is privately owned. Only the keep is expanded, roofed and usable. Some of the other facilities have been preserved as ruins, others have completely disappeared.
