history

The area was already settled in the early Stone Age . The first written evidence comes from the reports of the royal city of Laun from 1450, to which the village belonged. Before that, Steinwasser was probably the property of the Postelberg Benedictine monastery, which was destroyed by the Hussites in 1420 . In 1454, Steinwasser was transferred directly to the royal crown before it was sold to the city of Brüx in 1595. Three years later, Christoph Modlischow acquired the place, later Steinwasser often changed hands before it finally came into the hands of Josef Schreiter von Schwarzenfeld, who lost it in 1848 as a result of the land reform.

In the middle of the 17th century Steinwasser was an agricultural place with 5 farmers and 9 cottagers. The population hardly changed during the next hundred years either. In 1846 the community grew to 24 houses, which were inhabited by 148 people, in 1921 there were 252 people.

The castle, built in the classicism style in 1803, and the chapel from the 18th century were lost. The Madonna statue (1811) was brought to Maria Ratschitz . Coordinates: 50 ° 27 '  N , 13 ° 40'  E
