Sunzing Castle
The Sunzing Castle is located in the Untersunzing district of the Mining municipality in the Braunau am Inn district .
history
Allegedly the seat was initially called "Gertraudskirchen"; This Meierhof became the headquarters of the Sunzinger in 1435. The castle was rebuilt between 1474 and 1481 by the Sunzing people in place of a wooden previous building made of stone. In a side chapel of the Mining church there is the gravestone (made by the Passau master stonemason Georg Gartner) of Marx Sunzinger, who died on April 30, 1508, with heraldic shields and crest. Also buried here is Wolfgang Sunzinger, who was expelled in 1538 and was the nurse of Haselbach near Passau. Sunzing had lower jurisdiction . After the death of Wolfgang Sunzinger, the Puchleitners became owners. In 1650/51 Wolf Siegmund Puchleitner built the extension. The palace chapel was consecrated on March 22nd, 1650 and was consecrated to St. Mary . The chapel was destroyed by fire on March 12, 1786, but was subsequently rebuilt. Wolf Siegmund Puchleitner was raised to the baron status by Emperor Ferdinand I. After the death of Wolfgang Siegmund, the property passed to his eldest son in 1683. From this it came in 1697 to the baron Johann Wilhelm von Lützelburg, the son-in-law of Johann Adam von Puchleiten. In 1842 Sunzing came to Christian Freiherr von Esebeck, who combined it with the Mamling rule to one property. In 1870, Count Zdenko von Strachwitz, member of the Upper Austrian state parliament and landowner, acquired Mamling and Sunzing.
In the 1960s, Sunzing belonged to two brothers, one of whom ran a farm and the other an inn. The left wing of the castle served as a farm, while the main wing housed the inn. Access to both was only possible from the courtyard side, as the main entrance to the castle was walled up.
Sunzing Castle today
The castle is a hook-shaped two-storey building with a hipped roof , which was surrounded by a semicircular moat until the 1960s . On the east side there is a five-sided porch with only one window on the ground floor. The former chapel of the castle was located here, which was used temporarily as a storage room and the sacristy as a laundry room.
Today the castle belongs to Heribert Schmid from Salzburg . The castle is currently being extensively renovated and already makes an excellent impression from the outside. The restored facades are structured by different types of plastered surfaces and window frames. A plaster tape separates the upper and lower floors. The total cost of the renovation is estimated at over 1,343,000 euros, in which the public sector is involved. The Bavarian-Upper Austrian provincial exhibition in 2012 (“Allied - Verfeindet - Related in marriage”) is also working on a revitalization of Sunzing.
