The Frankenburg nursing home is located in the municipality of Frankenburg am Hausruck in the Vöcklabruck district of Upper Austria (Marktplatz 1 + 3).
history
The building in Frankenburg, then known as Zwispaln , was built by the caretaker Wolfgang Auer von Gunzing in 1512 and served as the administrative seat for the holdings of Kammer , Frankenburg and Kogl owned by Wolfgang von Polheim . Other carers were Oswald Haslinger (around 1510), Hektor von Trennbach (1540, 1550) and Ludwig Rainer (1552). In 1575 the building was called the “new castle” (the former fortress Frankenburg had become dilapidated and was abandoned). Around 1577 the building was raised by another floor to create living space for the rulers.
The reign of Frankenburg came to Hans Hofmann von Grünbühel as pledge in 1550. In 1570 the pledge was redeemed and Emperor Rudolf II sold the vacant lordships of Kammer, Frankenburg and Kogl to Baron Johann Khevenhüller , then ambassador to Spain. To raise Khevenhüller's rank, the rule of Frankenburg was raised to a county in 1593. In 1621 the “owner-occupied Hoffmarckhts Fleckhen Zwispaln” was granted market rights and the new name Frankenburg by Emperor Ferdinand II . Frankenburg became notorious for the " Frankenburger Würfelspiel ", whereby the memory of it is kept alive by the play of the same name.
The rule remained in the hands of the Khevenhüller family until 1810, with various administrators managing the property (e.g. Florian Maximus Clodi, who later owned Schloss Ebenzweier ), then the property passed to Andreas Pausinger and in 1849 to Franz Schaupp.
The nursing home then and now
As can be seen in the engraving by Georg Matthäus Vischer von Frankenburg, the nursing home was a three-story building with a moat roof and four watch towers. The building was visually structured by decorative window frames. The building next to it with a quadruple moat roof belonged to the official residence.
After renovation, only a two-story building is left of the nursing home; the well renovated building served as a vicarage for a while. The representation of the Trinity above the entrance door reminds of this . Today several law firms are housed in the building. In front of the building is a sculpture (title: "Göstern - Heunt - Morgin" ) by the iron artist Hanns Mistelbauer , with which the Frankenburger dice game is commemorated. The two adjacent buildings (Gasthof zur Post, Raiffeisenbank) must have belonged to the nursing home.
