The Schloss Innernstein (also Veste Stain, Schlösschen Kaiserstein) is located in the village and cadastral municipality of Innernstein , two to three kilometers east of the center of the market town of Münzbach in the Perg district in Upper Austria .

description

The former castle stands on a rock head high above the Klambach valley . Vertically sloping rocks made the castle impregnable from the north side.

In the southwest of the castle there is a massive round tower , the original height of which, like that of the gate tower , has been reduced during a renovation. The gate tower has a slightly curved tent roof , underneath a clock.

This is followed by two residential wings with an irregular facade, as they were built on the curtain wall of the old fortress. A drawbridge led over the moat, which was filled in today.

The wide, groin-vaulted gate hall leads to a square inner courtyard with arcades on three sides.

The arcades on the upper floor were walled up in 1589. The coats of arms of the former lords of the castle and palace are on the surface of the wall .

In 1906 Baron Hermann von Tinti had the courtyard on the north side closed with a neo-Gothic residential building made of quarry stone. A one-pillar hall with a groin vault has been preserved in the west wing. The interior of the upper floor is largely baroque . Several doors date from around 1700.

From 1996–1998, concerts were held in Innernstein Castle as part of the Donaufestwochen . At that time the Salzburg Residence Soloists performed there. The privately owned castle was extensively renovated in the 2010s.

history

In 1209 a Chunradus de Staine was mentioned for the first time in a document from Baumgartenberg Abbey . His castle, which was owned by the family until the 15th century, stands on a rock head above the Klambach and is still inhabited. The renaissance complex was given its present form in the second half of the 16th century. The year 1589 is documented on a sgraffito on the west side.

The Stainers held the castle as servants of the Lords of Machland and later of the Lords of Clam-Velburg as a free property. In 1292 they pledged parts of the property and later the entire property and became fiefs of the chaplains and later the Liechtensteiners .

Innernstein was a Liechtenstein knight's fief until the end of the manorial rule in the 19th century. In 1710 a land register was established over the imperial rule of Innernstein with a scope of 58 pages.
