history

The castle was built around 1130 by Siegfried von Spanheim-Lebenau , who participated in the crusade and was Ministeriale of the Archdiocese of Salzburg . When the Counts of Lebenau died out in 1229, the castle came to the Duchy of Bavaria . In 1254, however, the castle came back to the Archdiocese of Salzburg , they made the castle the seat of a caretaker , in 1272 Eckhard von Thann Pfleger is in the "Turm zu Lebenau".

After the castle burned down in 1428, Urban von Thumberg had to rebuild it within four years. From 1496 the castle was rebuilt by Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach . Another part of the castle was built between 1506 and 1513. At the beginning of modern times, it was probably converted into a castle that was not used by the military and was still inhabited in 1697 until it was sold for demolition in 1715. The Lebenau inn was built with the stones of the castle, an old inscription plaque from 1506 with the text: "Archbishop Leonhart zu Saltzburg hat das gsols Lassen pawen ano 1506" was walled in during the construction of the house, it has been in the Bavarian National Museum since 1913 . Remnants of the castle probably continued to exist, however, Burg Lebenau was described in 1796 and 1839 as the ruin of a square watchtower .

Traces of a keep and a moat still bear witness to the former castle complex on a triangular castle square with a core castle in the north . The Burgstall is now a ground monument .
