history
The castle is mentioned in a document in 1251 - Straßfried is the old name of the lower valley of the Viller Bach , from this time onwards the festival was also called. It was built by the old Counts of Tyrol , probably under Albert III. Together with the Sonnenburg opposite , it guarded the entrance to the Sill Valley, in particular the section between Innsbruck and Vill of the medieval long-distance trade road " Via Imperii " leading over the Brenner Pass and the salt road via Patsch and Igls to Hall in Tirol .
The importance of the castle can be recognized by the stationing of a captain, next to those in Innsbruck, Vellenberg near Götzens and Matrei . At the time of the Counts of Görz-Tirol ( Meinhard II. And Otto III. Around 1300) there was a Helbling family of bailiffs residing at the castle , who then called themselves von Strazzfried (name first mentioned around 1263).
This family died out around 1450, and the complex began to deteriorate. Already in the 16th century it was completely uninhabitable, in 1579 Archduke Ferdinand II transferred the name and nobility title to the Freising house in Wilten (Leopoldstraße 53, today the Grassmayr bell foundry ). From the 16th century, the Igler Hohenburg and the Natterer Waidburg are the important residences on the right and left of the Sill.
The Viller Mühle , which has been documented since 1383, was one of the estates .
archeology
