Weiffendorf headquarters
The Weiffendorf seat was in the Großweiffendorf district of the Mettmach municipality in the Ried im Innkreis district .
The first mention of the seat in Weiffendorf can be found in 1363. The name is derived from the proper name Wifo. At that time it was owned by the Freyer, whereby the note reads "1363 Herman der Freyer has zue fiefdom den sicz zw Weyffendorf" .
In 1567, another Christoph Sigmund Freyer († 1570) zu Weiffendorff documents. His son Wiguleus was enfeoffed with Weiffendorf in 1585. His sister († 1602), who was married to Abraham Magerl at Wegleiten, inherited his property in Weiffendorf and Grünau. As a result, the estate passed to the daughter Ursula, who married Hans Zott von Perneck in Passau in 1609. Wolf Wiguleus von Aham zu Wildenau and Neuhaus († 1644) followed in 1614. The heirs were Johann Ignaz von Aham († 1696), Max Josef († 1711) and Johann Eucharius Graf von Aham († 1764). In 1711 the seat fell to the Hoheneck as a marriage property; the last owner was Baroness Maria von Hoheneck († 1749). From this, Weiffendorf came to the Counts of Imsland zu Wildenau in 1764. This family had the residence demolished around 1900.
As can be seen in the copper engraving by Michael Wening from 1721, the seat was a simple one-story building surrounded by a moat , more like a farmhouse than a noble residence. A bridge led to the main house. Outside the moat there were several farm buildings and a wooden fence.
The complex was removed at the turn of the 20th century. As recent investigations have shown, the noble seat was between the houses Großweiffendorf No. 12, 12a and 48. 100 m south there is today an inn, which can also be seen in connection with the noble seat. Individual farm buildings have also been preserved.
