Ehrenbichl Castle
The Ehrenbichl Castle (originally also honor Pichl ) round is six kilometers north-west of Klagenfurt on an artificially created terrace on the southern slope of Honor Bichler mountain.
history
The construction of the castle is not clear, but according to a report by Johann Weichard von Valvasor , the castle was owned by the widow Countess Benigna Rosina Khevenhüller around 1688. It is therefore assumed that the Khevenhüller family built the castle in the late 16th century as an initially single-storey rectangular building. The second storey may not have been added until the 17th century. During Valvasor's lifetime, the building had two guard towers on the south side . At that time there was also a magnificent garden in front of the building. Both are no longer available today.
In 1740 Maria Anna von Mossenau sold the property to Johann Georg Pirker von Pirkenau. After Ignatz von Pirkenau's death in 1806, the castle came into the possession of Franz Xaver von Platzer. Other owners were Franz von Knappitsch, 1809 the Wodley trade, 1833 Theodor Rauscher, 1855 Anna von Steinkühl, 1877 Maria Mischik and finally in 1898 Friedrich von Ehrenwert. His descendants sold the castle to Emmerich Teuber and Charlotte Teuber-Coxe in 1925 . Another change of ownership followed in 1949. Today there is a game reserve in front of the castle , and holiday apartments are also rented out in summer .
