history
For the second princely castle after the old Ennsburg on Georgenberg were in 1475 on behalf of Emperor Friedrich III. several town houses on the Ennsberg (Stadtberg) torn down. This new princely castle (in the area of the former felt and shoe factory Banholzer, Ennsberg / Wiener Straße) still gives the townscape a defensive character with its solid retaining walls and round corner turrets. To expand it, Emperor Maximilian II acquired a dwelling belonging to the old Ennenkel family .
Obviously, the necessary care had not been taken to maintain the imperial castle. In 1589 Archduke Matthias asked his brother Emperor Rudolf II to raise funds for repairing the building damage. The builder Christoph Canavale put the cost of the repair work at the high sum of 1866 guilders, since the roofing was in very poor condition and the floors in the imperial room, in the hall, in the dining room and the dark room were completely rotten. The difficulty in obtaining the necessary funds was probably the reason that the building had fallen into disrepair.
As a result, the "Old Ennsburg" was partially used again, but in the end a new building between the old and the new Ennsburg was considered. For this purpose, Emperor Maximilian II allowed his Imperial Councilor Georg Gienger von Rotteneck to build the current Ennsegg Castle .
The councilor Hanns Berthold zu Saxenek and in 1630 his heirs are the owners of the bailiwick , then it was pledged to Christoph Helmhart von Weissenwolf. The White Wolfer bought the castle Emperor Joseph I. from. Ferdinand Bonaventure von Weissenwolf sold it to Thaddä Adam von Khauten in 1722 . From the khauten it went to the barons of Rumerskirch . In 1816 Joseph von Rumerskirch was the owner.
Neue Ennsburg today
After a fire (1730) and looting by the French (1742), only individual parts of the princely castle remained. These remains are built into residential and department stores (Ennsberg 1 and Wiener Straße 9–13).
