history
West of Mautern, in the immediate vicinity of the Pyhrn Autobahn (A9), the castle bears witness to the Ehrenfels family, who built defensive structures in the valley in the 13th century. After the Ehrenfelsern, the residence was owned by the lords of Kraig , Siegmund von Dietrichstein and, from 1564 to 1822, the counts of Breuner. Maximilian Freiherr von Breuner received market rights for Mautern in 1633, and in 1728 Emperor Karl VI. guest of Count Carl Adam von Breuner.
From 1882 the premises were used by the district commissioner because Mautern was a separate judicial district. From 1885 to 1980 the castle housed an old people's and infirmary home, which went back to a foundation by Franz Freiherr Mayr von Melnhof from 1883. In the meantime, Ehrnau Castle housed Austria's largest discotheque - the “Palace”.
Since 2017, Ehrnau Castle has been gradually revitalized by the current owner, BM Wilhelm Luttenberger. With the Gypsy Baron, the official reopening after the renovation was in June 2018. Since then, the castle has been used for events or can be rented for it.
