history
Origin and possessions
The von Glojach family comes from Styria as an ancient nobility. The von Glojach family had many possessions such as Neudorf , St. Georgen an der Stiefing , Herbersdorf , the Wildoner Freihaus (Lower Castle) , the Maierhof belonging to Castle Afram , Klingenstein (Salla) , Schütting and Trautenburg . However, like other Protestant nobles of their time, they largely lost their property in the course of the Counter-Reformation, when they were forced to leave the country and sell their belongings in a short time.
Neudorf
Andree Glojacher bought Neudorf Castle , which is located in southern Styria approx. 5 km east of the community of Wildon ( Leibnitz district ), from Georg Winter in 1457 and expanded the simple property into a Renaissance castle in the middle of the 16th century. But when Andree the Younger and his brother Hans Adam had to leave the country because of their Protestant faith, they first sold Neudorf to Georg Sigmund von Paradeiser in 1630 . The business was canceled due to lack of payment and sold to Hans Georg von Palmburg , who also did not pay, so that Neudorf came back to the Glojach family, more precisely to the son of Hans Adam von Glojach, who had become Catholic in 1641. In the 17th century, the rule brought how previously only debts due to problems with the building structure, agriculture and the impoverished subjects with the result that in 1703 Max Josef von Glojach sold Neudorf to Ferdinand Leopold Graf Breuner . The oldest walls on the west wing show walled-in arcades on the ground floor with two coats of arms of those of Glojach. The marble alliance coat of arms of Andree Glojacher and his wife Elisabeth von Lamberg can be seen above the portal of Neudorf Castle.
Sankt Georgen an der Stiefing
Andree von Glojach also acquired the dominion of Sankt Georgen an der Stiefing in 1555, including the former castle, today St. Georgen an der Stiefing Castle in the municipality of the same name, Sankt Georgen an der Stiefing in the Leibnitz district (Styria). Like his successors, he rebuilt the castle in the Renaissance style. Constant quarrels with neighbors and the bishop of Seckau as well as insurmountable mismanagement in 200 years of rule brought the Glojachers into financial crises, so that in 1753 they sold the property to Joseph Dominikus Baron and Panierherr von Egkh-Hungerspach .
Herbersdorf
The castle Herbersdorf ( Castle Herbersdorf in Allerheiligen bei Wildon ) in Austria was nearly 500 years in the possession of those of Herbersdorf even Herberstorff (noble family) . Anna Maria von Glojach , b. Herbersdorf , married to Hans Christoph von Glojach , who was known as a peasant smuggler , took over the rule in 1609 with ransom from his co-heirs. In 1640, high debts drove them to hand over the rule to the Jesuits from Graz, so that they could withdraw to the neighboring Schwasdorferhof. She spent the money on trips to Italy until she came back impoverished in 1645. Anna Maria therefore began a legal dispute with the Jesuits in order to get rule or payment of an annual pension from them, whereby she died before a legal decision.
Wildoner Freihaus (Lower Castle)
The city palace (lower castle), usually called Freihaus, of the noble Lords of Wildon (also Wildoner, Wildonier, Lords of Wildonie ) from Styria was handed over to the Glojachers in the 16th century by the Lords of Wildhaus and Christoph von Glojach in 1526 Archduke Ferdinand confirmed, whereby it was later sold to the provost von Stainz.
Castle Afram belonging to Maierhof
At the place of today's Schloss Marienhof in southern Styria north of Leibnitz, there was once a Maierhof, which was probably part of Afram Castle , which, unlike the nearby Aframhof, was referred to as the "upper court", later as Hofstatt Afram. In 1444 the property passed to Friedrich von Glojach through the Seckau bishop Georg I and was administered by his descendants as a fief until 1629. Before the Protestant Glojach were forced to move out, they sold the estate to Georg Ernst Freiherr Schrampf zu Aichberg .
Klingenstein (Salla)
The castle Klingenstein (Salla) at Voitsberg in southern Styria belonged to the 16th century, the castle Saurauer . Ruprecht von Glojach took over the rule when Maria Magdalena von Saurau brought her into her marriage. The castle was sold to the von Herberstein family , after it had been deserted by 1629 and the Glojach people, who professed Protestantism , were forced by the Catholic rulers to emigrate and sell their property.
Schütting
As a noble residence in the 13th century, Schütting was owned by the Schüttinger , knightly followers of those von Stubenberg (noble family) , such as Konrad der Schütting, who was named as a witness in the deed of Rein monastery (1307), divided the property among their relatives. In the function of a farm and winegrower's house, the seat of Seifried Windischgraetz came in the 17th century to the von Glojach family, who had to sell it to the Counts of Herberstein because of their religious emigration as described above.
Weissenegg (Styria)
Weissenegg (Styria) was taken over by the noble family von Glojach after the Weisseneggers and Hans III in the male line had died out and Katharina Weissenegger had sold the estate to her second husband Friedrich von Glojach in 1610. Christof Freiherr von Eibiswald was entrusted with the management and renovation of the castle for 10 years on behalf of the underage children of the Glojach family. The Counter-Reformation forced the Glojachers to leave the country and sell Weissenegg to Georg Leopold Freiherr von Stadl (noble family) in 1630 .
Trautenburg
Trautenburg was also owned by the Glojach family. Count Franz Lengheim from the noble family of von Lengheimb stormed the Trautenburg Castle with 19 armed men in 1701 , which had been awarded to Max Josef Freiherrn von Glojach shortly before, took the administrator prisoner and had the farmers' cattle driven away. The reason for this was inheritance disputes. When Max Josef died, the estate was sequestered and sold well below its value in 1759 to Josef Boset , who ten years later was ennobled with the title of Knight of Trautenburg .
