history

The castle was built around 1356/58 by the brothers Otto, Seifried and Hartlieb Puchberger zu Engelsberg , who were presumably feudal people of Leupolt von Hals . In 1485 the castle was divided into Nieder- and Oberschöllnstein. In 1500 the watch tower and the St. Georg castle chapel to the left of the entrance were already dilapidated. In 1550 the castle came to the Spritzenstein brothers and subsequently changed hands several times.

At the beginning of the 18th century, the castle was stormed in the peasant uprising and conquered in 1743 in the course of the War of the Austrian Succession , partly destroyed and largely demolished in 1768. In 1850, the then owner, Count Raimund Fugger, had the castle demolished down to the castle wall because of the risk of collapse to protect the houses below.

Today, the former castle complex, which had 15 rooms, three cellars and a horse stable for nine horses, still has significant remnants of the surrounding walls made of rubble stones with remains of vaults and the foundation walls of the "New Stock Niederschöllnstein".

Today the place is a monument ", the ruins of dry stone outer walls with vaulted residues mid-15th century" D-2-71-127-15, as well as ground monument D-2-7245-0001 "Medieval castle stables with wall remains" from the Bavarian State Conservation Office recorded .
