history
Hackledt Castle and Hofmark were the ancestral home of the family of the same name , which resided there continuously from its first appearance in 1377 until the end of the 18th century. In the sources it is never referred to as anything other than the free property of this family. The village was first mentioned in a document in 1396 in an arbitration court decision. Michael Wening wrote in 1721 that this "seat and castle district court Schärding from fortunate years bit belonged to those of Hächledt".
Up until the 17th century the complex was a comparatively small residence , but from 1664 the building was significantly rebuilt. Johann Georg von Hackledt (1611–1677) had it enlarged, the moat was filled in and an extension was built in its place. At the same time, the complex was given a baroque style to match the taste of the time and the palace chapel was built in honor of St. Jacob and St. Anna. The castle was given the appearance that is also handed down in the copper engraving by Wening. The bay-like protruding porch on the western part, which has been preserved to this day, also dates from this time . The northeast wing once had a kitchen with an open stove as an extension.
In 1779 the Innviertel came to the Habsburgs after the Treaty of Teschen . The von Hackledt family also came under Austrian sovereignty with their property in the Innviertel. At that time, the Hofmark of Hackledt Castle included a total of 60 subordinate estates, mainly farms in the area around the villages of Eggerding, St. Marienkirchen and Mayrhof . Shortly before his death, Joseph Anton Freiherr von Hackledt (1729–1799) appointed his distant relative Johann Nepomuk Freiherrn von Peckenzell (1776–1851) from Dorfbach as a universal heir . As a result, the castle came from the von Hackledt family.
Johann Nepomuk Freiherr von Peckenzell sold the castle to the Reichersberg monastery in 1839 for 27,000 guilders . The monastery kept it until 1928 and then sold it to the farming couple Josef and Theresia Großbötzl from Mayrhof. The purchase price for the pure realities was 46,000 schillings . After the castle came into bourgeois hands, there was a rapid change of owners, with the remaining grounds being gradually separated and sold. In the castle, rooms were adapted for use as an inn. The Stiegerbauer, Matz, Rachbauer and Wildi families followed the Großbötzl as owners. The roof and facade have recently been restored . Exhibitions, concerts, lecture evenings and readings are currently being held in the castle on a regular basis.
description
The complex can be characterized as a late medieval core building with a simple, almost square floor plan, which was extended to the west by a rectangular extension in the middle of the 17th century. It was never a defense structure in the sense of a moated castle , but developed from a small noble seat originally made of wood. Manor houses of this type were often to be found in the Innviertel. A trench cut out of the plain surrounded the standing cone of earth, which was further sloped with the excavation, on which the castle was built. The building is covered by a steep roof , the rear part of which is hipped . Most of the interiors have beamed and stucco ceilings , the hallway has a ribbed vault .
