history

Holzheim was first mentioned in a document in 1075. The lords of Holzheim were owners until 1376, followed by the Aczpeckh until 1481; then the castle came into the possession of the lordship of Steyregg. The name Painherrnhof goes back to the patio of the brothers Georg and Wolf Painherr. These were for services rendered by Emperor Ferdinand III. Elevated to the nobility in 1648. The last of the Painherrn was the son of Wolf Painherr in 1684. In 1726 the old castle burned down and a new baroque castle was built.

Painherrnhof today

The Painherrnhof is a three-story building. The granite portal , which bears the year 1726, is remarkable . Above the portal, two angels hold a portrait of Mary with the baby Jesus, both are crowned. A barrel vault leads from the portal to an inner courtyard with arcades on one side supported by massive granite pillars. The windows on the left and right of the outer facade are secured with wrought iron bars. The different design of the stucco above the windows is remarkable. The side walls are divided by white flaps.

The castle is now used for residential purposes. Unsightly additions spoil the castle. The state of construction is not good, individual renovations have been carried out.
