history

The place was already settled in the Paleolithic. There are also traces of settlement from other prehistoric epochs. The archaeological sites in Kamegg are scientifically comprehensively documented. Kamegg was first mentioned in a document in 1150. Between 1150 and 1312 the castle was owned by the ministerial family of the Lords of Kaja , who also called themselves Kameggers . In 1312 the castle came into the possession of the Lords of Puchheim , and in 1534 it came into the possession of the Maissau family , who left the castle after 1621. In the following time the castle fell into disrepair and became a ruin. With the commissioning of the Kamptalbahn , Kamegg developed into a little summer resort . After 1945 Kamegg could no longer follow the tradition of the summer resort. Changed travel habits, but also the construction of the Kamptal reservoirs, which led to a sharp drop in temperature in the Kamp, which is lined with numerous bathing establishments, deprived tourism in the Kamptal of its most important foundations. In 1938 the previously independent municipality was attached to the municipality of Gars , and in 1945 it became independent again. In 1971 it became part of the market town of Gars am Kamp as part of the amalgamation of the municipalities .
