history

Schiefereck is first mentioned in 1361 as the seat of the Enns citizen Berthold (Perichtolt) Scheffolt (Schefvolt) von Scheffoltsegk, when he sold thirty fiefdoms to the daughter of Friedrich von Wallsee . The Scheffolts were also citizens of Enns. There are no documents for Schiefereck for the next 40 years.

The next owners were the Habichlers towards the end of the 14th and beginning of the 15th century. In 1409 Friedrich Habichler sold the Schiffertseck noble seat to Wolf Feuchter (Feichter); In 1424 he got it with all accessories from Georg von Dachsberg as a fief. The Feuchters were a knightly family who owned possessions in Lower Austria as well as in the land above the Enns ( Fridau Castle , Grueb, Schiferegg). With the great-grandson of Wolf Feuchter, Wolfgang Feuchter, married to Beatrix V. Knörring, this branch of the family came to an end again in the state of the Enns, while the lines to Friedau and Grueb continued to exist in Lower Austria.

Heinrich von Geumann owned the castle around 1460. In 1466, the seat of Schiferegg was taken by the citizens of Steyr, as the knight Ortolph Geymann († 1483), with whom there was a legal dispute with the Steyr people for several years, had entrenched himself there. He and his helpers were captured and taken to Steyr. In 1485 the Hungarians took part in the war against Emperor Friedrich III. the castle from the Tettauer Schanze on the western bank of the Enns. The castle was burned down when the Hungarians withdrew, but rebuilt after 1490 and still corresponds to the illustration in Georg Matthäus Vischer's topography from 1674. The Feuchters remained in the possession of the princely fief until 1520. Siegmund von Polheim followed the Feuchters . In 1539 (or 1533) he sold the seat "Schiferegk sambt dem Pawhof" in turn to his brother-in-law Wolfgang von Volkenstorff . In 1625 the seat of Schiefereck was renovated. 1628 had Leaning Reck and other possessions (u. A. Tillysburg Palace , Castle White Mountain , Castle Stone ) by Catherine of Volkersdorf, the last from this Protestant family, sold to Count Werner t'Serclaes of Tilly. After several generations, Maria Anna Catharina, widowed Countess Montfort and sister of Ferdinand Laurentio Francisco Xaverio Count Tilly, sold Schiefereck in 1730 to her cousin Johann Joseph Antonius Freiherr von und zu Weichs. This had to file for bankruptcy in 1750, in 1756 his widow Maria Ludowika Tillysburg and Stein received. Since then, Schiefereck is no longer listed as a noble seat. Then the fiefdom of Schiefereck came to the Gleink rule and from 1764 to the Sankt Florian monastery .

In 1852 the castle was bought by Anna Maria Hoislbauer, married Lindner. It was followed by Johann Lindner in ownership from 1859–1901. 1901–1902 the property came to Klara Steindl, in 1902 to Franz and Aloisia (née Steindl) Trunk and subsequently to Margarete Trunk. The castle was renovated under Franz Trunk. The Prtaks are to be mentioned as further owners. Today, Peter Prack and his family are descendants of the castle.

Above that there is a half-relief with a Pietà and a plaque that reminds of the previous owners of Schiefereck and provides information about renovations . The house facade is structured by a sgraffito tape; the windows are by sgraffierte window surrounds lifted. The west side of the castle has recently been built with a wooden veranda .
