history

The name refers to a worn out watchtower. It probably stood at the Burgstaller farmstead (house no. 43; Burgstall 'Kleinburg'), which was documented in a Freising land register as early as 1305 - perhaps even the castle itself is meant. The high path of Katschtalstraße, which has been used since Roman times, probably ran below here from Kammersberger Höhe , where another tower stood on Kammersberg . The residence apparently belonged to the Trennstein (Treuensteiner , in Eastern Styria), and then it came to the Stubenberger to Katsch . The tower was probably destroyed in the Baumkircher feud in 1469.
