Trabuschgen Castle
The Trabuschgen castle on the northern edge of Obervellach is privately owned. The name Trabuschgen goes back to a Slavic name for a bulbous terrain elevation.
history
The castle was first mentioned in 1434 as being owned by Balthasar von Kühnbug. The Khünburgers, who worked as carers in Obervellach until 1633, had the building converted into a Renaissance residence in the 15th and 16th centuries . In 1692, Hans Adam Stampfer von Walchenberg, who mined copper in Fragant , acquired the facility. His sons Hans-Josef and Franz-Adam expanded the palace in a baroque style and made it a meeting place for a group of aestheticians. From 1804 the building was owned by Count Batthyány and later by the Wenger family.
Building description
The core of the three-storey building dates from the 16th century. The south-east facing facade has seven axes. The two upper floors are combined by giant pilasters. The gable crown, like the portal, is shifted from the central axis and stands above the fourth and fifth windows. This column-flanked arched portal has a richly carved gate. The coat of arms of Count Stampfer von Walchenberg is attached above the portal. The windows have baroque roofs. A late Gothic vault has been preserved in the former entrance . At the back of the building there is a coupled Renaissance window.
Furnishing
Four coats of arms painted on glass on the first floor of the staircase are marked 1572.
The interiors were designed in the first quarter of the 18th century. The large hall on the second floor takes up the entire depth of the building with the long side and two window axes with the narrow side. The ceiling paintings were designed in 1716 by Josef Ferdinand Fromiller based on the model of the Sala Clementina in the Vatican and show gods enthroned above the clouds who benevolently look down on the activities of the people. In other rooms on the first and second floors, stucco ceilings from the first quarter of the 18th century have been preserved. The stucco in the west room is from the end of the 18th century, the fireplace was built around 1700. The small hall on the first floor is now used as a dining room. The ceiling has two painted draw-through beams. It shows the adoration by the angels, the Annunciation and Saint Joseph with angels. Illusionistic balustrades are painted in the side strips, and above them a column architecture supported by atlases, which give an illusionistic view of the sky. In the staircase to the second floor there are stucco fields with paintings that are probably by Anton Zoller .
The chapel in the rear wing was created around 1727/1730. The oval room is furnished with illusionistic wall paintings and figurative representations by Anton Zoller. The altar, made around 1730, shows the Coronation of Mary painted by Fromiller in the altarpiece .
Around 1740 Fromiller created eight wall panel pictures based on engravings by Peter Paul Rubens , which depict the lives of Heinrich IV and Maria de 'Medici . These paintings can no longer be found in the castle.
