Gasselberg Castle
The Gasselberg Castle , also called Schreinerhof or Villa Schreiner , is located in the municipality of Krottendorf-Gaisfeld in western Styria . Its history goes back to the 16th century.
location
The castle is located in the northern part of the municipality of Krottendorf-Gaisfeld, in the southeast of the cadastral municipality of Gasselberg on a hill a little north of Packer Straße B 70 and the Kainach . The Schreinerbacherl flows directly to the west of the castle .
history
Today's castle goes back to a vineyard built in the 16th century by the Greißenegg rulership . Around 1780 the Stöckl was expanded to around two thirds of its current size. There has been evidence of a house chapel on the first floor of the building at least since 1845, which received a measurement license in 1851 . The chapel was later relocated to the ground floor and lost the measuring license after being damaged by renovation work in 1877. After the Wagen von Wagensperg family , who owned the Stöckl at that time, had to file for bankruptcy, it was bought by Moritz Ritter von Schreiner in 1877. He had it expanded into a mansion and after 1919 it received its present appearance after extensions. In 1946, the house chapel again received a measurement license when Heinrich Schreiner founded an annual mass on Annatag, which, however, expired again in 1956. The chapel was then profaned . In 1953 Heinrich Schreiner hands over the property to social welfare. A children's home was operated here for a short time.
description
The romantic castle has a late medieval core from the 15th century. The baroque and secular house chapel originally housed the altar from the house chapel of Greißenegg Castle. Under the von Schreiner family, the castle housed one of the largest private collections of pictures by the Baroque painter called Kremser Schmidt .
