The Postal Altheim denotes a Outbound hilltop castle in the district Burgstall of Weng im Innkreis in Innviertel in Upper Austria , just west of the city Altheim on a river terrace of Mühlheimer Ache (Ach) .
history
The castle was owned by the Häusler family around 1130. Around 1220 he came from the ducal Bavarian servant von Puchstetten to Ludwig von Hagenau. In 1292 it was owned by Otto von Hundsberg, who came from Bavaria, and then by his two sons Johannes and Thomas. In 1521 a Hans Burgstaller and in 1563 a Barbara Hausinger, wife of Hieronymus von Adelhaus, are named. According to unsecured oral tradition, part of the masonry is said to have been used for the construction of the parish church in Weng (1478 to 1490).
Plant and research history
The Burgstall was built in the second half of the 19th century by Johann Ev. Lamprecht uncovered and recorded by him and Hugo von Preen in a plan sketch. It consisted of a front and a main castle on the northern tip of the high plateau, about 300 m north of the Burgstall 1/2 farmstead.
The weir system is characterized by two semicircular trenches about 10 m deep , which were reinforced by an additional earth wall. Due to the shape of the complex and the lack of documentary mention, it is likely to be attributed to the late early Middle Ages (10th / 11th centuries). A Roman fortification that existed earlier is assumed by Hille.
The property was largely leveled and thus destroyed in the course of agricultural renovation work in the 1970s. A moat that still exists is called a castle moat .
