architecture

Lasseregg Castle is a rectangular two-storey building with a hipped roof and stone portal. The roof is loosened up in the south by a brick gable. The rooms on the ground floor have barrel vaults with red marble columns and heraldic stones made of red marble (1511 and 1596, with references to the family history). To the north is an open staircase, to which a baroque terrace is attached to the west. Corner pillars with sloping suit can be seen on the ground floor. In the south is the entrance portal with a vertical gable and arched border. The windows have semicircular framed crowns with palmette motifs, which were created at the end of the 19th century. The residence was completely renovated in 1839. Remnants of an earlier enclosure wall with a loopholes serve as a demarcation to the adjoining cemetery.

history

The first documentary mention as an archbishop's fiefdom Gut Niederalm can be found in 1418, when Hans Reuter ( Rewter ) sold the estate to Ulrich Strasser ( "ain hof called Kirchhof zu Niederalben" ). In 1513 Ruprecht Lasser appears as the first of his family to own the Kirchhof estate . At that time he expanded it into a castle, as the coats of arms and the year 1511 on one of the pillars on the ground floor show. However, Emperor Maximilian I did not give Rueprecht Lasser a coat of arms until 1514. Around this time the courtyard was converted into a castle. In 1538 Emperor Ferdinand I raised Ruprecht Lasser to the knighthood with the title "von Lasseregg". The Lasser were a wealthy family with estates in Salzburg and Augsburg, Thomas and Matthäus Lasser were appointed imperial fishmasters on the Attersee (in Unterach you can find the Lassereck Castle, which belongs to the family , in Burgbachau the Meierhof). In 1614 Christoph Lasser and Ferdinand Lasser are enfeoffed with the property. The son of the former, Hans Ehrenreich, followed in 1625 and in 1637 also became the imperial fish master on the Attersee. Georg Gottlieb Baron Lasser von Lasseregg (* 1661) sold Lasseregg to his brother-in-law, Count Kuefstein, who was married to Maria Clara Lasser. In 1729 Ernst Gottlieb Lasser, son of Georg Gottlieb, bought the residence back. With his son Leopold, the Lasser family died out in the male line in 1798.

The possessions then came to Leopold's sister; this Maria Anna Josefa was married to August von Lassberg. Their eldest daughter Josefine was married to her cousin Friedrich Freiherr von Lassberg, so that the property remained in the family. Lasseregg then went to Franziska von Lassberg, Baroness Deuering from Kempten and married Baumgartner. In 1852 Lassberg came to his son Rudolf Baumgartner. The knight's fief "Sitz und Hof Lasseregg" was sold to Johann Dengler in 1878. In 1892 the six Landwürst sisters bought the estate. Moriz and Luise Lucas followed in 1910, and the estate was sold to Eleonore Wallner in 1926. The castle, which has been renovated in recent years, is still privately owned by the Wallner family.
