History, culture and sights

Berneck in Elsenau (Vischer 1681)

The castle Bärnegg (Perneck) was in the late 12th century, and their rule covered the whole space of the Styrian northwestern tip east of change. The Kingdom of Hungary already bordered on today's border triangle . The area originally belonged to the Vorau monastery , then to the Lords of Schildgraben , the Pernern and the Rindsmaul . The castle only fell into ruin in the last few decades, but is a listed building.

The location itself is documented as early as 1316 as Puschenaw (' Busch - Aue '), and in 1521 as Elsenaw (to 'Else', bird cherry ).

Ecclesiastically, the place initially belonged to the parish Bärnegg , the parish church of St. Nikolaus stood by the castle and was the burial place of the Perner von Pernegg. It was used until 1531 and fell into disrepair during the Counter Reformation. It was rebuilt in the late baroque style by 1741, but fell into disrepair again due to its remote location, and was largely demolished in 1915 for the construction of a burned down farmhouse except for the tower. This ruin is now also a listed building. After the parish of Bärnegg was dissolved, Elsenau belonged to the Schäffern parish church that had been affiliated to the Augustinian canons of Reichersberg (since 1991 again in Vorau) , which was officially closed since 1393. An interesting, bell tower-like chapel stands opposite the Gasthaus Jostl (Zingl), it was built in 1833 and is also a listed building. The Peace Chapel at the Gamperl property was built in 1989.

Today's area of ​​the village has been divided along the road since the creation of the local communities after 1848/49 , between Schäffern and Sparbaregg (1964 Sparberegg). The houses there formed the village of Elsenau Sparberegg (village code 15202). In 1968 the municipality of Sparberegg came to Schäffern, so the whole place was in one municipality. In the following year, however, the village / cadastral community Sparberegg came to Pinggau. The village of Elsenau Sparberegg was dissolved in 2012 and divided into Elsenau, the location of the name Elsenau-Sparberegg is now located in the Pinggau municipality. In the same year the scattered houses in Karnegg also became a separate village.
