history

Langhalsen is first mentioned in 1397. From a document from 1412 there is talk of Heinrich der Schurff sitting in the haws at Langenhals . In the 17th century the Heinissberger were the owners, in 1680 a Leopold Rupert Heinissberger is called. He sold Langhalsen in 1688 to the knight Josef Kampmüller (Campmüller, † 1694 in Vienna). The camp millers came from the Sarleinsbach camp mill . Kampmüller was a citizen of the council of Neufelden as well as a princely Passau Freiamt administrator, in 1674 he was raised to the rank of imperial knight. He was married to Salome Großhaupt († 1683), the marriage resulted in three sons (Mariophilus, Zacharias, Andreas) and a daughter. Zacharias was the imperial court judge. In 1696 the castle was rebuilt. Mariophilus von Kampmüller († 1703) was married to Johanna Sybilla Rauch von Rauchfels. There were three daughters from the marriage (Maria Regina, Anna Josefa, Franziska). In 1697 Mariophilus von Kampmüller received a permit to trade in linen (bag-cloth factory - material for flour sieves), grain and cattle. In 1703 he had the brewery and the tavern built in Langhalsen. Andreas Kampmüller, Altrichter zu Neufelden, died in 1739, his wife Salome in 1731. In 1718 Langhalsen was owned by Johann Georg Kampmüller.

After the Kampmüller family died out, Langhalsen passed to the Countess von Salburg, née Füger, in 1798. The Swiss von Preßler family followed in 1803, then the castle was owned by the Löfler family from 1825 to 1881 (a Johann Paul Löffler did a lot for growing hops in the Mühlviertel region). The castle, which was already in decay, was acquired and restored by the Kerschbaumers and experienced a renewed boom at the beginning of the 20th century.

Langhalsen Castle today

The castle was once a mighty square building with appropriate equipment. A castle tavern and a castle brewery were attached to the castle building. When the Neufelden reservoir was built, the site with the Langhalsen church and castle were demolished and blown up in 1924. When the water level is extremely low, individual wall sections are sometimes visible. The brewery cellar is still preserved. The well of the castle could be saved and is now at the Partenstein storage power plant in the municipality of Kleinzell in the Mühlkreis.
