history

Around 1320 the Rohrers, who owned the " Veste Leonstein ", built a church in Romanesque style and a cemetery chapel. The church was first a branch church of Syrnicht ( Sierning ) and from 1367 independent and its own pastoral care station.
In 1390 the Leonstein fortress was founded by Duke Albrecht III. besieged and finally destroyed, as emissaries of the Archbishop of Salzburg were imprisoned there. At that time, a cannon was used for the first time in Austria. Wolfgang von Rohr finally sold his share in the castle to the Duke, the other part belonged to his brother Wilhelm, who had fled. In 1397 Albrecht III enfeoffed Wolfgang von Rohr again. Erhard von Zelking acquired half of the rule from Bernhard von Rohr in 1447 . Instead of the Feichta farmhouse, the Zelkingers built Leonstein Castle, which still exists today. A state children's home has been housed there since 1945.
Since 1624 Leonstein was again a Catholic pastoral care station in the course of the Counter Reformation and in 1628 the Protestant baron Christoph von Zelking emigrated. The Catholic Lords of Salburg followed.
Georg Matthäus Vischer, now known as a cartographer, was pastor in Leonstein from 1666 to 1668 . Beer has been brewed since 1731 under the count's rule of the Salburgers, who also owned the Klaus rule . The last brewery in Leonstein closed in 1907. Today's scythe forge museum ( Ensemble Schmiedleithen ) is also located in part on Leonsteiner local area, otherwise directly on the border in Obergrünburg.
Name and location
The place and parish are named after the former castle or today's palace. In the deed for the elevation of the parish in 1367, however, the parish and church are still called "To Saint Stephen an der Wienne". The southern border to Micheldorf ( KG Obermicheldorf) runs on the Steyr breakthrough valley crossing . The border to Molln is formed by the Steyr river , the northern border by the Rinnerbach (Schmiedleitnerbach).

Transport and energy supply
The Steyrtal state road B 140 and the Steyrtal cycle path run through the entire local area . This leads mostly on the former route of the Steyrtalbahn .
The Agonitz run-of- river power plant at river kilometer 32 has existed since 1924 and has been owned by Energie AG Upper Austria since 1996 . In the years 2003–2004 the new owner had the power station renovated and mostly rebuilt. Two sets of machines were installed: a Kaplan turbine with 2550 kW and a so-called straflo matrix turbine with 550 kW. The output increased from 990 kW to 3100 kW. The power plant generates 15.8 GWh of electricity annually.
