history

Waseneck was first mentioned in 1284 when it was passed on to Ulrich III by the Roman-German King Rudolf von Habsburg and Duke Albrecht I of Austria . von Capell († before 1315) is pledged. In 1423 Duke Ernst of Austria gave Reinprecht von Walsee Waseneck as a personal property . Then a Flußhart is known to have owned the fortress around 1440. He was followed by Veit Stetthammer, who owned Waseneck in 1473. As a result, the Sündecks and the Walchs were resident here. Gandolf Stundacker acquired the Waseneck fortress from the knight Hanns Walch zu Arbing in 1508 . In 1665 Waseneck and Außenstein came to Baron Johann Christoph von Clam-Martinic . The administration of goods was relocated to Clam Castle and Waseneck was left to decay.

The castle stables for this out-of-the-way festival is located in a forest in the village of Amesbach ~ 150 m northwest of the Amesbach property N ° 6.

The substructure is still clearly visible in the Zwiesel (confluence) of two channels. The plateau of the castle stables is surrounded on 3 sides by the deep trenches of the channel and measures ~ 65 × 30 m. The access to the plateau in the form of a neck ditch is to be found in the northeast. There is a modern spring version a little below and to the east. On the plateau itself there is a noticeable increase at the entrance. A little further on there was a conspicuous ring-shaped substructure on the plateau, diameter ~ 6 m. No monument protection (2020).
