history
Oberbergham, already mentioned in 1108, was the headquarters of the Perkheimers. These were of rural origin and initially worked their way up to the lowest nobility, the so-called one-tier knights. In 1295 the Archbishop of Salzburg , Konrad von Heinrich von Pergheim, bought the property. This was awarded in 1339 by Count Schaunberg to the pack Enenkel, who remained in his possession until 1360.
Other Perkheimers were: Georg von Perkheim († 1450), married to Susanna († 1428), daughter of Gregor Rathaiminger. Kaspar von Perkheim († 1520), married to Rosina von Auersperg , who is mentioned in the class against the Bohemians in 1471 and 1474; He was Vitztum and thus the highest tax officer in the state of the Enns , since 1501 also the household effects of Emperor Maximilian I and thus at the same time a member of the "regiment" (government) of the "Lower Austrian Lands". In 1488 he acquired the Höft estate from Seitenstetten Abbey and in 1514 the Rosegg estate from the Schaunbergers . Jörg II. Von Perkheim also acquired Würting Castle from the Schaunbergers in 1455 , from then on the headquarters of the Perkheimers. In 1525 the Perkhamers appear under the knighthood. With Jörg III, who died childless. († 1559) this noble family dies out. Jörg's brother Wolfgang had died in 1556. His second wife, Emerantia von Polheim , now owned the Perkheimer property. The daughter Christina, born in 1554, was married to Georg Achaz von Losenstein, and the widely scattered family property gradually passed into strange hands.
In 1643 Tobias Nutz von Goisernburg is named as the owner of Oberbergham; in exchange for his rule Goisernburg in 1643 he had exchanged the dominions Oberbergham and 1644 Wartenburg . In 1643 he received from Emperor Friedrich II. The right to transfer rights from Oberbergham to his estate Plötzened (Plössenöd) by changing the name of the latter to "Oberpergheim" (but this was not done), as well as the approval to use his coat of arms with that of the to unite extinct "von Pergheim". Already at that time there was talk of a "dilapidated seat and castle stables Oberpergheim". In addition, Tobias Nutz unites the dominion of Oberbergham with Schwazgrüb and the parish of Weibern .
In 1644 the forester Christoph Staindl owned the castle, which - as can be seen on the engraving from 1674 - was rebuilt.
These possessions passed from Christian Freiherrn von Aretin to Josef Maria von Weichs . To rule Oberbergham were also temporarily Schloss Walchen , Castle Wildenhag and Castle Litzlberg that were auctioned 1816th It is not known when Oberbergham left.
