Tannbach Castle

The Tannbach Castle is a private castle in Upper Austria in the market town Gutau in Mühlviertel . The castle was first mentioned as a patio around 1400. At the end of the 19th century it got its current appearance. The castle also has a sizable farm with a farm.

history

Ulrich Galsberger appears as the first owner in Duke Albrecht's fief book in 1400 . Mathes Chienast bought the castle in 1459 and remained in the family's possession until 1550. Around 1550, the castle was bought for a short time by the Weissenauer family, who previously provided the mayor of Freistadt and also acquired the Fuchsenhof . Since the family was not raised to the nobility, they sold Tannbach to Ernst Hack von Pornimb . Count Johann Karl von Thürheim followed until Johann Karl Maurer von Hohenstein zu Eydendorf took over the castle. By marriage, the property passed to Philipp von Frey, who died in 1730. In 1756 Hack von Bornimb was again the owner of the castle.

In 1787 Bartholomäus Kiendler bought Tannbach, in 1805 it was taken over by Karl Pfülb von Ehrenheim. His son handed the castle over to Josef Limbrunner in 1823. Heinrich von Planck bought the property in 1878. Alexander Adler was the owner between 1880 and 1906 until Count Ludwig Polzer-Hoditz bought the castle in 1906 . The castle remained in the family's possession until 2007; since then it has been inhabited by the Weißengruber family.

construction

The original building was a noblemen's seat, which was later converted into a Renaissance building with corner towers and a small clock tower. Between 1873 and 1878 the castle was rebuilt in the turret style. Today the castle is a three-storey building with a rectangular base. At the corners there are oriel towers with an onion dome attached. The narrow sides are adorned with curved gables. The long side facing the farm yard is defined by two mansards , the other long side is simple because it is surrounded by a forest. The area behind the castle is lower than the main entrance, so the entrance from the forest can only be reached via a plinth.

The castle also has an extensive farm with the farmyard. No guided tours are offered, viewing is only possible from the outside.
