history

The village of Halfing was first mentioned in a document from Salzburg Archbishop Odalbert in 928 when he exchanged a farm with the noble Rafolt as Hadoluinga . In the 12th century, ministers of the Archdiocese of Salzburg probably sat here . The Hofmark Halfing developed from a village court , whose first owners are the Laimingers , who are recorded here between 1342 and 1577. Forchteneck Castle above Halfings is first mentioned in 1353. Achaz von Laiming (1534–1560) and Hans Christoph von Laiming (1577) are listed in the country table . They are followed by the Pienzenauer , named in 1597, 1606 and 1625. In the Hofmark description it says: "Ermelt Forchtenegkh is ploß a castle and nothing but a Hofpau darbey, but Halfing is a beautiful large village, is a quarter of an hour from Forchtenegkh, belongs to Hannß Ludwigen von Pienzenau to Forchtenegkh."

The Pienzenauer was followed by Hans Christoph von Dachsberg zu Zangberg in 1628. 1639–1731 the Lords of Fossa are owned by the Hofmark. The last noble ruler of Forchteneck Castle was Franz Armand Cajetan von Fossa. In 1732 he donated the castle and Hofmark Halfing to the Seeon Abbey . These remain in monastic property until secularization . In 1803 the Halfing Court of Justice was repealed and Halfing came to the Trostberg district court .

Building description

According to the engraving by Michael Wening from 1721, the castle was probably a two-storey, massive L-shaped building on a hill (Schloßberg). The main building was covered with a hipped roof with small flag turrets at the ends. Presumably this is the new building of the castle from the 18th century.

The castle burned down at the beginning of the 19th century and was then demolished in 1817. The palace chapel, a small square, baroque building with a gable roof, is still preserved . The chapel was renewed in 1814.
