Spattenbrunn Palace
The Castle Spättenbrunn was in the district Spattenbrunn the municipality Neukirchen am Walde in Grieskirchen in Upper Austria .
In 1310 Spattenbrunn was documented as a possession of the Wesner family. Gottschalk von Flacheneck sold the seat on May 24, 1345 to Count Leutpold von Schaunberg, Provost of Freising. Jäger von Waldau followed in 1532. The Lords of Spätt at the end of the 14th or beginning of the 15th century are considered to be the builders of Spattenbrunn Palace. Johann von Spätt, who died in 1414 and was buried in the court chapel of Wesenufer , is named after the castle.
In 1626 the castle was looted and damaged during the Upper Austrian Peasants' War. In 1628 Friedrich von Spätt sold the property to Johann von Neithart, who gave the palace its final shape. His son and successor Friedrich Freiherr von Neithart zu Spattenbrunn († 1689) is buried in the church in Neukirchen. The heir was the brother Johann Baptist, who sold Spattenbrunn in 1691 to the imperial count Theodor Althet Heinrich von Strattmann († October 25, 1693 in Vienna). This united the rule and with Peuerbach to a Fideikommiss. In 1849 the Fideikommiss was dissolved and the property was sold to farmers. Other owners were Therese Ertl (until 1879), Josef Pröbstl (1879–1893), Karl Pröbstl (1893–1936), after which his son Karl took over the property.
Spattenbrunn was a one-story building. Until 1608 it was called Späting or Speting . At the beginning of the 19th century the castle collapsed. Today it has been completely worn down and no stone is reminiscent of the former castle.
