Feistritz Castle (Ilz)
The Feistritz castle lies a few kilometers north of Ilz in Eastern Styria .
history
In 1170, the pastor of Vustriz (Feistritz), along with others, was urged by the Archbishop of Salzburg to deliver certain tithes for Vorau . One concludes from this that the castle, in whose association the church - already at that time parish church - stood, had already existed at that time.
The forerunner of the castle, a manor, according to F. Posch, was built after 1122 by Hartwig von Reidling, who was also the founder and namesake of the neighboring (Groß-) Hartmannsdorf (today the municipality of Großsteinbach ). Like his brother Walter, the founder of Waltersdorf , Hartwig belonged to the clan of the originally high freed from Traisen-Feistritz, who had taken over the surrounding area from the Palatine Aribones , who in turn had been commissioned with the clearing work in Eastern Styria around 1020. Adalram von Waldegg , also a brother of Hartwig and Walters and founder of Seckau Abbey , had a. a. the Hainersdorf neighboring the castle was given to its canon foundation.
In 1270 he met an Alram von Feistritz, also wealthy on the Traisen, married to a sister of the powerful Marshal Hartnid von Wildon , albeit a ministerial of the sovereign (as one of the Radkersburg burgraves).
After the death of his son of the same name, one of his sons-in-law, Alram von Reifenstein (near Pöls ), acquired the main estate as his own . The Reifensteiners were also princely cellar masters in Fürstenfeld .
After the Reifensteiner (1400–1407) died out, the cellar master Tybolt and his sons owned the rule and church patronage. After Walter Kellermeister, Feistritz came into the possession of the sovereign prince in 1471 ( Baumkircher feud ?)
After the use of carers - Jörg Reichenburger in 1473, Martin Klöcher in 1474, Pangraz Gosseneder in 1483, the Mindorfer in 1493 - truchess Siegmund von Mindorf was enfeoffed with the rule in the same year.
During the Reformation , the castle church lost its parish church status.
After the Mindorfer died out in 1648, the rule came to the barons / counts of Wildenstein, who were related by marriage, and in 1809 it was sold to the counts of Lamberg . A representative of the latter sex born here was Hugo Raimund Reichsgraf von Lamberg . In 1959 they sold their moated castle to the Hamker family. Today the castle is privately inhabited.
Building history
In the 12th and 13th centuries, the castle was probably a simple tower courtyard, surrounded by a circular wall and a moat fed by the Feistritz .
The Reifensteiners also built the “house”; the Mindorfer rebuilt it around 1570 as it is today.
In 1605 the Heiducken ravaged the castle and set it on fire. It has been restored and expanded.
In 1890, the Graz archive director J. v. Zahn: "A pearl in this series [of the moated castles] is Feistritz near Ilz, which clearly shows the growth from the 14th century to the magnificent buildings of the 17th century in all its parts."
possession
The rule of Feistritz was a medium-sized rule in 1532 with 102 subjects, the tax base was 186 pounds pfennigs.
The areas around the castle, Leithen, Tambach / Dambach and Buchberg (all three today part of Ilz ), Obergrien / Obgrün and Hainrichsdorf / Hainersdorf , belonged entirely or for the most part to the rulership, as did the "exclave" consisting of Aichperg / Eichberg and Hochenegg . In addition, the lordship owned individual farms in the offices / cadastral communities Steinbach / Großsteinbach , Großhartmannsdorf , Ilz , Dörfl , Neudorf , Mutzenfeld , Ziegenberg and Ottendorf , Großwilfersdorf , Maierhofen , Heufeld / Hainfeld , Herrnberg , Gschmaier .
The Lamberger archive has been in the Styrian State Archives since 1948 .
