history
From 1430 Rottenbauer belonged to the Wolfskeel'schen possessions. In the 16th century, the Wolfskeels initially had the Lower Castle built on the site of the Old Castle . In 1699 Eitel Ernst von Wolfskeel had the Upper Castle built. The Rottenbaurer line of Wolfskeels died out in 1801 with Johann Philipp Jakob Heinrich von Wolfskeel in the male line. He bequeathed the Lower and Upper Castle to his daughters Amalia, married von Redwitz and Johanna, married von Groß von Trockau . However, this decision was challenged in a process that lasted until 1878 by the Reichenberger line of the Wolfskeels; At the end of the legal dispute, the Reichenberg line of the Wolfskeels received the Lower Castle, the Redwitz family the Upper Castle. Today the Upper Castle is the residential building of an agricultural and commercial property.
