history

The castle of was built around 1100 by Count Engelbert II von Spanheim and became the seat of the County of Kraiburg . Engelbert received the area around Kraiburg through the marriage of Uta von Passau, the wealthy heir to the Passau burgrave Ulrichs the Rich . When Engelbert finally became Duke of Carinthia in 1124, he handed Kraiburg over to his eldest son, Engelbert III. He remained in the possession of the castle until his childless death in 1173. His younger brother Rapoto I , who named himself after the Ortenburg castle built by him around 1120 in the Rottal , became heir . When Rapoto died in 1186, his two sons divided the estates. The elder, Rapoto II. , Received Kraiburg as his seat. In 1208, Rapoto II was awarded the Bavarian Count Palatine, since then he has held the office of Kraiburg. In 1199, the castle was captured and burned down by Duke Ludwig the Kelheimer in a feud between the Counts of Ortenburg and the Counts of Bogen . Rapoto then rebuilt the castle. With his death in 1231 his son Palatine Count Rapoto III followed. of Bavaria as the owner of the castle. He too remained in Kraiburg's possession until his death in 1248. Rapoto left only his heir, Elisabeth, who married Hartmann I von Werdenberg in 1256 and, among other things, gave him the Kraiburg. In 1259 he sold the extensive possessions to the Wittelsbach family . The castle was probably destroyed in 1504 in the course of the Landshut War of Succession and in 1547 in the Schmalkaldic War . In 1617 only the keep was left . In 1754 the nursing court was moved to the village, the castle complex fell into disrepair and after 1756 the remains were demolished, so that only a neck ditch remained.
