history

The history of this noble residence is closely linked to that of St. Veit. The place is first mentioned in a document in the year 771 as Marlupp (derived from March = border). In 722 a donation from Count Willhelm Marlupp to the Mondsee Monastery is mentioned, 300 years later a donation to the Reichersberg Monastery is mentioned .

Historical evidence about the residence itself is very sparse. The oldest name of this property (and thus also of today's place St. Veit, which was only called that since 1613) comes from 1055, when the property was called Isingrimesheim (Eisengratzham). The outlawed Count Palatine Aribo (Boto) zu Isingrimesheim an der Marchluppe in Matichgau was given the possession of Emperor Heinrich III for insulting majesty . taken and added to the Archdiocese of Salzburg .

The residence was owned by the Prunntaler (Brunnthaler) until 1526, the place and residence was named after this family, as can be seen on the etching by Michael Wening of Schloss Wimhub . This was followed by the Wimhuber, who also owned Wimhub Castle. In 1574 the von Hackledt men followed , who owned Wimhub and Brunnthal until the 19th century; many family members are also buried in the church of St. Veit im Innkreis, where some gravestones commemorate them.
