history

The names of the Lords of Zell have not been passed down. In 1453 there is talk of the old castle in the Zeller parish . Presumably Zell belonged to the Theinselberg lordship . This is indicated by the same patronage of St. Afra of the churches in both places. The castle chapel St. Afra existed until the Thirty Years War . The Burgstall is now a listed building.
