The lost Waasen Castle was located in the municipality of Moosbach in the Braunau am Inn district of Upper Austria ( Waasen 9).
history
Waasen is first mentioned in a document in 1313. 1378 the haws zum Wasen from Zachreis (Zacharias) the Haderer is pledged to Vlrich (Ulrich) [the] Granns. Ulrich Ganser (probably the same) sealed a certificate of inheritance in 1406. His son Mathews (Matthäus) der Ganns zum Wasen was a keeper at Braunau . The daughter of Matthäus, Agathe, married Aspian Truchtlinger and so Waasen was followed by the Truchtlinger. Aspian Truchtling called the castle Arx Wasen . Further owners were the Frauenberger and then the Tannberger : In 1479 a Mauricz (Moritz) Tannberger zum Wasen appears. This Moritz (I.) the Tannberger handed over the castle to his second son Hans IV. († 1518). His eldest daughter Barbara married Christoph von Schmiehen in 1528. Wolf Heimeram von Schmiehen bequeathed the rule to his sons Hans Georg and Eberhard. This († 1608) was the last of this family. The heirs of the Schmiehen left Waasen with Hofmark and St. Peter am Hart to Achaz II of Tannberg († 1637). His wife was Christine Salome von Closen. In 1627 Artlieb von Dachsberg bought the rule from Baron Achaz. Waasen was then united with the rule of Aspach . By marriage came Waasen as Fideikommiss to the Count Ferdinand Lorenz von Wartenburg and in the 18th century to the Count of Haßlang. From these, Waasen passed into peasant hands in 1849.
Waasen Castle today
According to a copper engraving by Michael Wening from (1721) Waasen was a three to four story building with a high crippled hipped roof and a dormer window . A simple bridge led to a gate in the castle wall. Upstream was a well-fortified forecourt with a simple tower, which was also only accessible via a bridge.
The moated castle with Hofmark was still clearly recognizable in the Franziszeischen cadastre . In 1878 the castle was allegedly blown up and completely demolished by the mid-1880s. The moats that surrounded the palace and the courtyard were leveled. Today there is a newly built home there. It can still be seen in the aerial photo.
A model of the castle, which follows the copperplate engraving by Michael Wening and a drawing by Hugo von Preens , is in the Moosbach municipal office.
