Tribuswinkel Castle

The Tribuswinkel Castle is a castle in Tribuswinkel , a cadastral municipality of the town of Traiskirchen in Lower Austria.

history

Older systems are likely to have stood on the site of today's castle. The foundation charter of the Heiligenkreuz Abbey dates back to 1136. Among other things, a witness is named Jubort de Tribuswinchele . The first weir system is believed to have been built as a moated castle around 1120 to 1230. The gender can also be found in the Salbuch of Klosterneuburg Abbey . It can be traced back to the first half of the 14th century. The successors are the lords von Mistelbach and shortly afterwards Wolfgang von Winden , who remained in his family until 1527.

After that, the owners changed pretty quickly. Among them were the Starhemberger , the Streun von Schwarzenau and the Hoyos . Georg Federl acquired Tribuswinkel in 1588 . After converting to Protestantism, he fought the Catholics. Since he confiscated the church property of the Catholic parish, even Archduke Mathias had to intervene. In 1637, Federl's daughter-in-law sold the rule to Johann Hector Graf Isolani , a general of the dreaded “Croatian Horsemen” under Wallenstein. His daughter entered a monastery and immediately sold Tribuswinkel to Mathias Wägele .

With an interruption from 1707 to 1733, the Wägele von Walsegg family owned Tribuswinkel between 1666 and 1772. At the time of the Turkish wars , Tribuswinkel was one of the well-defended places of refuge for the civilian population. After Maria Anna von Schulenburg-Oyenhausen, b. Countess Kottulinsky , who bought the Tribuswinkel estate in 1772, passed the estate to the Bartenstein family . In the middle of the 19th century the castle was rebuilt more generously, came to the Counts Spiegel before it was acquired by the barons Christoph and Johann von Doblhoff in 1877.

In January 1900, Crown Princess Stephanie , widow of Crown Prince Rudolf , visited Gut and Schloss Tribuswinkel. This visit fueled the rumor for some time that the Crown Princess intended to purchase the property. The by most Viennese newspapers rumored news of a completed purchase turned out to be incorrect as a result.

During the First World War , in 1917, Ludwig Urban (1876–1946), General Director of Brevillier & Urban , bought the castle and converted it. A tower that was demolished around 1800 was rebuilt and a second floor was added.

After the Second World War , the building was confiscated by the Soviet occupation forces and a local headquarters and a film censorship office were set up there. In connection with the requirement to set up a rest home on it, Gertrude Urban, widow of Ludwig Urban, donated the entire property to the municipality of Vienna in 1947 . (The former fruit and vegetable garden in the palace park area, however, went to private third parties and row houses were built on.)

According to the state treaty , the palace (whose substance was weakened) was converted into a convalescent home for around 160 Viennese children in 1958 and (as the eighth municipal children's home) on August 17, 1959, as a Ludwig Urban convalescent home by Franz Jonas , mayor of the city Vienna, opened.

The convalescent home was closed in 1988 and the property was sold three years later to the town of Traiskirchen, to which Tribuswinkel belongs. From 1995 the castle was renovated and from 1997 a kindergarten was opened in it.

description

The floor plan of the castle is trapezoidal . The original curtain wall no longer exists. The moat was also filled in for a long time. The castle has three floors. Sometimes the castle also has a cellar. There is a small chapel on the first floor. The year 1614 can still be seen on the large archway . Due to the conversion to the dedicated children's home, the original room structure no longer exists. The outbuildings that belonged to the castle are now privately owned.

The castle can only be viewed from the outside, the plane trees and an ash in front of the castle are designated as natural monuments, as is the castle park .

Remarks

  1. ↑ According to Meissner: Die Doblhoffs , p. 36, Tribuswinkel was acquired in that year by Rudolf von Doblhoff (1849–1924), who originally wanted to settle in Moravia as a large landowner, but allegedly failed to do so because of the German hostility prevailing in the population. Under Rudolf von Doblhoff, the palace and palace gardens became centers of social life for the family and their numerous friends, including the Baroness Helene Vetsera (1847–1925) and little Mary Vetsera (1871–1889), who spent part of her childhood there.
