history
Strettweg Castle was first mentioned in 1149 as the seat of a princely ministerial family ("Cunrath de Strecuis"), from which the Galler arose in the 13th century . In 1220/30 a residential tower was built or rebuilt and around 1360 the knights finally resettled and the goods were divided between farmers - the estate was then called "Krugmoarhof" (founded after 1360). Remains of the tower have been preserved in an outbuilding in the north wing of the Krugmoarhof. These remnants of the tower include one and a half meter thick walls, a Romanesque biform window on the upper floor and a column from the twelfth century. Gothic building elements that can still be recognized have wall thicknesses of up to 90 centimeters, the main part of the south-facing building with a wall thickness of 60 centimeters is from the Renaissance period .
The Strettweger family , who lived in the castle, died out in the 14th century; In 1418 the noble estate in Strettweg came to the Seckau Abbey and in 1564 to the Teuffenbacher . From the end of the 16th century Strettweg Castle was owned by the Judenburg bourgeois family, who later became Counts of Heinrichsberg .
