history
The name of the original castle has not been preserved. There is also no documentary evidence of the castle. It is believed that this was the seat of the chamberlain . It was probably destroyed in an invasion from Bohemia, similar to Kronest Castle . As early as 1499 it was known as the “Purckstal”.
In 1544 the name Kammermeier appears, in 1591 it belonged to Gilly Kammermeier, in 1629 Matheuss Khambermaier. The castle belonged to the vineyard lordship .
The castle lay on the spur of the Kammermaierberg. To the north it was protected by a moat. There are clear remains of walls and ditches . The foundation walls of a tower can probably be seen . Without closer examination, it is not possible to determine exactly which formations are artificially constructed or which are of natural origin. However, a distinction can be made in the area between a castle core and the fore area; the size of the castle must have been considerable.
The Postal can not miss when you ascend from the house Trölsberg 20, former Meierhof, about 500 meters towards the chamber Maier mountain.
