history
Penk was first mentioned as Pench in a deed of donation in 1234, and the Mölltheuer castle ruins come from the same time . The Catholic parish church, St. Nicholas, is located in the village of Penk . It was built in the 15th century and modified in 1714, 1766 and 1808.
Penk was a separate municipality until 1973, when the municipality of Reißeck was founded as part of a municipality merger in Carinthia ( municipality reform 1973 ) from Penk, Kolbnitz and Mühldorf , which Mühldorf left again in 1992.
