history

The castle was probably built by the Counts of Ohlstadt around 1100. In 1096 a Rudolf von Owelstadt, Ministeriale of the Counts of Andechs , was mentioned in a legal dispute with the Bishop of Freising.

After the cession of the castle together with the castles Eschenlohe and Werdenfels to the Hochstift Freising in 1294 , a Leuthold von Schenkenau reported the reconstruction of the "broken Feste Schönwenperch" in 1347–1348. In 1362 the wealthy lords of Camer ( Hohenkammer Castle ) are guaranteed as owners (secondary property) of the castle.

In 1414 the castle was destroyed after an eleven week siege by Munich riflemen and a bunch of mercenaries after a long legal battle.

In 1415 the robber captain Schneeberger and his gang occupied the ruins and in 1417 was beheaded from the walls for plundering passing merchants and raftsmen . In 1482 the castle was already known as the Burgstall . In 1485 it came to Oswald von Weich and was sold in 1493 together with the Hofmark Ohlstadt to the monastery of Schlehdorf . In 1880 the last remains were removed.

The former castle complex, partly carved out of the rock, on a castle plateau with rock cut at right angles, still contains remains of a staircase carved into the rock and the surrounding wall .
