The Riedenegg Castle , also Schloss Lind called, is in the district Lind Austrian municipality Grafstein in Carinthia . The castle-like manor presumably emerged from an old noble estate. The current building probably dates from the 17th century, but was changed to its present form in subsequent centuries. It has been a listed building since 2012 . As it is privately inhabited, it cannot be visited.

history

The then Schloss Lind in the Franziszeischen Cadastre

The history of Riedenegg goes back to the 12th century. In 1196, Pope Celestine III confirmed . the monastery of St. Paul whose possessions in the predium Trahoven, Linde et iterum Linde , which the monastery had exchanged between 1162 and 1181 with Ortolf von Osterwitz for Huben in Drasendorf near Sankt Veit . The two former estates in Lind are mentioned again in land records in 1289 and 1371 .

In 1399 the Lords of Metnitz owned the estate, which at that time was probably a sovereign fief . On January 21, 1433, Duke Friedrich IV of Tyrol enfeoffed Oswald Mordax with Lyndt . In 1627 Bartholomä von Dietrichstein gave Lind as a fief to the Baron von Hollenburg, Christof Perger. He had the current building erected as a noble residence . It was mentioned in 1638 as Lind.

From 1842 the property belonged to Ignaz von Schludermann. His family had the facade of the building renewed in the 19th century. The descendants of Schludermann remained owners until 1930, when the property passed to Hans Stiegler that year. Handed over to the Deutsche Umsiedlungs-Treuhandgesellschaft in 1942, Riedengg Castle was sold to Max Flora in the same year. His family still owns the manor today and it is the center of an agricultural estate.

description

location

Riedenegg Castle is on a hillside

Riedenegg Castle stands at around 424 meters above sea level on a slope that slopes southwards. The Gurk flows into the Drau about 860 meters southeast of its location . Due to its elevated hillside location, the manor house offers a wide view over the Drau to the Karawanken .

architecture

Riedenegg is a rectangular plastered building, the two full and one attic storeys of which rise above a basement. The flat hipped roof of the building is covered with Eternit shingles. The long sides of the house are divided into seven axes by windows , while the shorter front sides have only two axes. The entrance side in the north shows a three-axis central risalit , which protrudes only a little from the front. On the grooved ground floor, a three-axis building is in front of the risalit, the roof of which is supported by two pillars and designed as a balcony . The entrance, located in the central axis of the north facade, is kept simple and plain. The façade facing the valley on the south side shows a very similar design as its northern counterpart. A terrace with a baluster parapet is in front of the central projection there on the ground floor .

All the windows of the building are surrounded by fascias , the white paint of which contrasts with the facade, which is otherwise painted yellow. Upstairs are among the Sohlbänken parapet fields, the relief-like design of simple geometric shows shapes. The windows on this floor have straight roofs at the top , which are also painted white. The upper and attic storeys are vertically combined by white pilaster strips . The small rectangular and oval windows on the attic storey suggest that it used to be a warehouse.

The property includes a farm, the buildings of which are north of the manor house.
