Noble seat Rosenstein (Grieskirchen)
The former noble residence Rosenstein is located in the town of Grieskirchen in Upper Austria .
history
Originally, the Rosenstein should have belonged to the rulership of the Polhaim rule of Parz . For the first time, this outdoor space, like the Manglburg in 1639, was the property of Gundaker Hugl "von der Manglburg, zum Rosenstein at the time Pfleger zu Peuerbach" . The Rosenstein was founded in 1639 by Emperor Ferdinand III.endowed with the noble liberties. While the Manglburg passed to his son-in-law Albert Pusch after Hugl's death, Dr. Franz Posch († 1662), a former court judge from Lambach, who then called himself “zum Rosenstein”, was the successor to the Rosenstein. In the Posch seal there is an oval, split shield. Above are three stars next to each other, below seven leafy stems with three roses each sprout from a mountain of three. The three mountain with seven rose stems is also on the helmet above the shield. However, there is no evidence of this coat of arms in the Vienna aristocratic archive.
The property came to Maria Clara von Salburg († 1698), née Hörlin von Watterstorf auf Grubhofen and now also a wife to Rosenstein. She was the widow of Johann Achaz von Salburg and moved into the Rosenstein as a widow's seat. Then Franz Gottlieb Stockhammer, a citizen of Grieskirchen, came into his possession and was ennobled by Empress Maria Theresia on August 6, 1759 with the predicate "von Rosenstein" (In his coat of arms there are three mountains with seven protruding red roses in the lower part, a reference to the previous owners). The ennobled Franz Gottlieb remained childless. After his death († 1764) and that of his wife Anna Franzisca Klinger von Klingerau (in the same year), the Rosenstein probably came into civil possession.

The building is now at Prechtlerstraße 18 in Grieskirchen. The building complex consists of two adjoining houses, of which the western one-story building has five windows with a row of skylights above and the eastern two-story building has seven windows with individual skylights. The windows on the first floors of both buildings are aligned. The window frames are framed with rich stucco ornamented with shell and leaves. The windows on the second floor of the eastern wing show portrait-like heads of men, women and children. The easternmost window has an Italian-style male head wreathed with laurel. Only above the window above the granite entrance portal is no human head attached. In the western wing, in the window decorations of the 1st, 2nd and 5th window, a rose can be seen, a clear reference to the Rosenstein or the coat of arms of the previous owners Posch and Stockhammer. The buildings are built in the Italian style, which used to be expressed even better by a flat roof. A corresponding impression of this can be obtained from the rear view of the building, which has a balustrade at the end of the house. The people of Polheim, many of whom studied at Italian universities, could be the builders of both houses.
