Mühlgrub Castle
The Mühlgrub Castle (also known as Grueb in Traunviertel known) is located in the same district of the municipality Parishes near Bad Hall in District Steyr-Land in Upper Austria (Mühlgruber Road 42).
history
Mühlgrub Castle emerged from the private residence Grub; until 1415 it was only called Grub. This was the seat of the Asperger vom Aspertgerhof, who had received it as a fief from Kremsmünster Abbey . The residence was mentioned in a Kremsmünster land register as early as 1299 . The last of the Aspergers was Wolfgang, who only owned half of the property, the other half belonged to a relative named Hans Pucher. Wolfgang's daughter Barbara was married to Hans Mühlwanger and inherited her father's share. In 1415 Hans Mühlwanger also bought the other part. Since then the seat has been called Mühlgrub. Under the Mühlwangern the conversion to a renaissance castle took place . In 1529 a Hans Mühwanger sold the castle to Hanns Greimatschmied. His heirs sold the property in 1544 to Hieronymus Prändl von Weissenbach, from whom it came to the winners six years later. The iron steward and land clerk from ob der Enns Christoph Strutz took over the property from Georg Wuecherer in 1601. In 1615 Hans Fenzl von Steyr succeeded him. In 1633 his daughter Elisabeth received Mühlgrub and brought the castle into her marriage to Wolfgang Jakob von Katzianer. In 1658 Siegmund Ferdinand von Katzianer sold the rule to Veit von Gera, who died in the same year. In 1659 the rule passed from his heirs to Schlierbach Abbey , which was the owner until 1876. Then Gottlieb and Anna Pepöck bought the property. Their successor, Hans Haager, founded a brewery in 1891. The brewery was closed in 1986. In the 1970s, the largest bottling plant in the world was built here for the “ Schartner Bombe ”. Today the castle is owned by the "Country Home Style" company.

Mühlgrub Castle then and now
The spacious complex of Mühlburg Castle stands on a hill above the Sulzbach.
As can be seen in the engraving by Georg Matthäus Vischer from 1674, the castle had seven towers, two of which are still preserved. The castle was surrounded by several farm buildings that were joined together to form an outer wall. All the towers on the outer wall have come off. The castle itself is a four-wing complex around a rectangular inner courtyard. A tall, square tower with a pyramid roof is integrated into one wing of the castle. The second tower is on the left corner in front of the castle entrance. This is a cranked round tower with a conical roof (previously created in pairs with a second). The castle was badly damaged in World War II . The second flank tower was no longer built. The castle is accessed through an arched portal made of large stone blocks. Behind it is a gate hall that leads into the inner courtyard. The paved courtyard leads slightly up to the side with the rear tower. The windows have wrought iron bars.
The two surviving outbuildings of the original ensemble were used for brewery purposes until 1986.
