The former Harter Schlössel (also Schloss Hart , Hartschlössl , Hart , Hof zu Hart , Veste Hart ) was the only manor in today's market town of Naarn in Machlande (Upper Austria). It was demolished at the end of the 18th century because it was dilapidated. In the community, street names still remind of the existence of these castles: Hartfeld, Schlösslweg, Schlösslwiese, Teichweg.

description

Schlössel Hart was located just under one kilometer northwest of the Naarn parish church in the cadastral parish of Naarn (Upper Austria) on an elevated local mountain on the edge of the flood surface in the area of ​​the flood stop line. The castle was surrounded by a curtain wall and a moat. Only the substructure remained. The Hausberg plateau (diameter ~ 54 m) and southern parts of the trench are still clearly visible. In the south, the bottom of the trench is still ~ 2.2 m below the plateau. The successor building built on the plateau is Haus Naarn No. 9, which was later given No. 39 and is now at Schlösslweg No. 18.

One can only assume that an early medieval castle was built between 900 and 1000 after the Hungarian invasions. At that time, the plateau-like earthwork probably carried a mighty wooden fence (palisade) and a higher observation tower made of wooden beams. In the first two centuries there was no reliable information about the owners.

A first historically tangible family, the Harter on the Harthof, called the homestead Hartenstein. The Harthof originally belonged to the sphere of influence of the Lords of Perg . In the 12th and 13th centuries, men from Hart are cited as witnesses several times, among them Baron Ulich von Hart (between 1227 and 1234), who expanded the residence into the fortified Hartschlössel. Chunrad followed in 1234 and Herwort von Hart in 1276 as owners of a sovereign fief.

In 1280 the Veste Hart went to the Lords of Mitterberg , Ulrich I and Leutold I of Mitterberg. In 1314 and 1317 Chunrad II von Mitterberg zu Hart acted as a legal witness. Ulrich III. probably given up his property for lack of heirs. In 1360 Eberhart I von Kapellen first became the owner of the pledge and then the owner of the Hof zu Hart. In 1368 he had fish ponds built around the Hartschlössel on the pond meadows. In 1381 his brother's descendants inherited the castle. The last chaplain to own the castle was Eberhart III. von Kapellen, who died in 1406.

The Hart rule, which at this point was already incorporated into Schwertberg, came into the possession of Dorothea von Kapell, who had married Hartneid V. von Liechtenstein .

In 1452 Simon Volkra, Schaffer von Freistadt received the Veste Hart from 1432 to 1436 as a fief from the Liechtensteiners. Around 1485 the Veste Hart came to Magdalene Schirmerin and Hanns Radlbrunner. During the 16th century, Hart was owned by Protestant families such as the Geyer zu Osterburg family .

Around 1598, the Protestant Gregor Hack von Bornimb, resident at Aussenstein Castle , acquired the Veste Hart together with the two profitable offices of Naarn and Arbing and sold it to Georg Erasmus von Tschernembl for 25,000 guilders in 1603 . This was Calviner and because of the participation in the Bohemian Confederation in 1620 fleeting. All of his goods were confiscated and, after an estimate had been carried out, sold at a low price to the Catholic Leonhard Helfried von Meggau in 1622 . He died in 1644 without an heir. The Hartschlössel was owned by Count Heinrich Wilhelm von Starhemberg from 1644 to 1675 . During this time, the copper engraving No. 71 by Georg Matthäus Vischer was made in 1674 . In 1676, Count Lobgott von Kuefstein zu Greillenstein, Weidenholz and Hartheim took over Hartheim after marrying Countess Maria Anna von Starhemberg. Harter Taiding was established in 1682 . From 1700 to 1728 Count Ehrgott Maximilian von Kuefstein was the owner, then until 1748 his sister, Countess Maria Franziska von Kuefstein.

The next owner was Count Gundacker Josef von Thürheimer , who in 1778 sold his over-indebted property to his wife, Countess Maria Dominika von Thürheim, and died in 1789 while fleeing from his creditors abroad. Towards the end of the 18th century, the dilapidated castle was demolished and the properties sold.
