history

Perwang was first mentioned between 963 and 976 in an exchange document from Archbishop Friedrich I of Salzburg and Count Aribo . At that time Perwang fell to Salzburg and remained a Meierhof of the Salzburg bishopric for 400 years . In 1341 and 1391 the residence is documented as the property of Fridreich the Noppinger. Then the brothers Seybot, Chunrad, Georg and Christian von Nopping are named. Perwang came from the Noppingers to Hanns Unterhofer on May 11, 1558, who died on December 20, 1595. The next owner is Sebastian Schettinger (Schütting, Schetting) zu Zell (deceased 1660). His widow Maria sold the property to the Michaelbeuern monastery on November 9, 1661 . Since then the castle has served as a vicarage.

The castle chapel was built by the Noppers, this was also their burial place; the Noppingers also had a church built in Perwang.

After the Peace of Teschen on May 13, 1779, Emperor Josef II traveled through the newly acquired Innviertel and stayed in the castle on October 28, 1779. At that time, the state border ran right through the rectory. There should still be a chair on which Joseph I is said to have sat, as well as a portrait of the emperor and his mother Maria Theresa , painted by Franz Nikolaus Streicher from Salzburg.

The castle is in attractive condition, the adjoining farm building has already been demolished.
