The Hofarnsdorf Castle , also lock Arnsdorf is a castle in the municipality Rossatz-Arnsdorf in the district of Krems-Land in Lower Austria . It is a listed building .
history
The "Arnsdörfer" (Ober-, Hof-, Mitter- and Bacharnsdorf) are old property of the Archdiocese of Salzburg . They are mentioned for the first time in 860 in the deed of donation from Ludwig the German to Archbishop Adalwin . The name Arnsdorf is derived from that of the Salzburg bishop Arn (o) .
Up until the beginning of the 14th century, Salzburg gave the Arnsdörfer fiefdoms. Fief takers were mostly petty aristocrats who named themselves after Arnsdorf. A Heinrich von Arnsdorf is mentioned around 1190, who moved to the Holy Land with Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa . Around the middle of the 14th century, the diocese took over the management of the wineries on its own. The administration was the responsibility of a court master who had a large Freihof as his seat in Hofarnsdorf. Remnants of the wall that still exist indicate that the courtyard and parish church of St. Ruprecht were surrounded by a common defensive wall. In 1501 the Freihof and the Presshaus fell victim to a ten-day flood of the Danube. The rebuilt complex remained with the Archdiocese of Salzburg until the secularization of 1806 and was then taken over by the state camera fund. In 1829 he was sold to Ignaz Wißgrill. He had the courtyard expanded into a castle.
description
The castle is surrounded by a high wall and can therefore only be viewed from the Danube. The free-standing main building is a two-story box structure, reminiscent of a large school building from the time of the monarchy from afar. A large park with old trees extends behind the castle.
