history
The first documented owner of the property is Polycarp Hunt around 1466. Lukas and Peter, the chambermen, are mentioned as inventory men around 1600. There was probably no noble family of the von Kammer family.
Dietrich Khuen von Belasy acquired the property of the Kammerhof from Peter Kemmerer and his son-in-law Georg Guthund between 1610 and 1614, freed them from the Hunt's lordship and built a castle there. The palace chapel was added in 1617 and inaugurated by Bishop Johann Paulus Ciruletti. The rule remained in the possession of the Khuen von Belasy family. Siegmund Khuen (1640), Hans Christoph and Dietrich, the sons of Siegmund (1648), Georg Dietrich Khuen (1675), May Preisgott Khuen (1707) are mentioned. In 1711 the property and the chapel burned down. It was only after the property of the Khuen von Belasy in the whole of Pinzgau was sold to the Chiemsee diocese in 1722 that it was rebuilt. The bishops left the property through their keepersmanage at Schloss Fischhorn .
After secularization , Josef Neumayer acquired the goods from the Bavarian Finance Chamber in 1812 by buying them at auction, after having been the tenant of the property since 1785. The property is still owned by the Neumayer family today.
