history

Ainwalding Castle after an engraving by Georg Matthäus Vischer

The castle is mentioned for the first time in 1355 with Gottschalk Aboltinger (Anwaltinger), a knight who was required to serve in Starhemberg Castle. Ulrich Ainwalding is mentioned in 1375, around 1400 a Wernhart is mentioned, later Seyfried and Konrad Ainwalding are mentioned, in 1443 the seat is owned by Leonhart Ainwalding. 1467 enfeoffed Emperor Friedrich III. Tibold Aspan and his brother Siegmund Anwaldinger with the seat. In 1515 Hieronymus Anwaltinger follows. An Alexander Anwaltinger is the last of the family on Ainwalding; in 1538 he certified the sale of a farm. He was married to Amalia Ennenkl , who died a widow in 1566.

In 1574 Ainwalding was owned by Hanns von Fuerttenbach. In 1648 Ainwaldung came into the possession of Tobias Vorteil von Goisernburg, who also owned the Wartenburg estate . The free, aristocratic and unencumbered seat was sold to the caretaker Matthias Adam Ramspeckh and his housewife Maria Dorothea. The old castle had become dilapidated, was demolished and then rebuilt.

In 1699 the aristocratic estate passed to the keeper of Schloss Ort , Wolfgang Moser. His daughter Maria Katharina, married to Karl Ehrmann von Falkenau, sold Ainwalding to her brother Wolf Karl Moser, a carer on Waxenberg , in 1722 . In 1730, the new owner of the Wartenburg estate, Johann Albrecht Reichsgraf St. Julien, bought back the aristocratic estate including the estate. This was followed in 1754 by Johann Ignaz von Gehlen. In 1789 the owner of the castle, Johann Georg Grechtler, who has been operating since 1766, sells the seat to Baron Thaddäus von Reischach, who was also the owner of Wolfsegg Castle at the time. In 1774, Ainwalding was inherited and left the country table . In 1847 Ludwig von Ratzenberg bought the seat. In 1856 the castle was partially burned down.

In 1866 the estate became the property of the farmers. In 1880 the Reumayr family from Ainwalding turned into an inn, the current owner is Adolf Reumayr.

Ainwalding Castle then and now

On the engraving by Georg Matthäus Vischer from 1674, Ainwalding appears as a three-storey building with a tent roof and a mighty corner tower, which is covered by an onion dome with a lantern. An upstream Meierhof is surrounded by a palisade fence together with the castle. In the enclosed area there were fields behind the castle, but rows of trees stand in front of the castle.

Today the tower of the castle and one floor have been demolished. The wrought-iron window baskets that used to exist have disappeared. In the meantime, the castle and the Meierhof in front have grown together to form a building complex. The Reumayr inn is located in the front part of the building; There are still old vaults in the building . Next to the building is a newly built chapel from 1999.
