Castle farm
The castle farm with the Anna chapel is a residence from the 15th century in Liefering (Lieferinger Hauptstrasse 86), today a district of Salzburg .
history
In 1463, the Salzburg doctor Leonhard Kurz is proven to be the owner of the Liefering estate. Since his will speaks of the " good to lifring that he inherited there ", a house must have existed earlier. After his death in 1495 the property went to his wife Ursula Lyfringin (derived from the nickname of her husband, the "Lifrigers"), then to their daughter Margareta (1502), who was married to Sebastian Klaner, the land judge of St. Peter's Monastery. This was followed by Sebastian Höflinger, chancellor and court judge. From this it goes to his widow and son Sebastian in 1576. At that time there must have already been a brick-built homestead that was tax-free. Subsequently, the husbands of the two sisters of Sebastian Höflinger - Hans Jakob Teufl von Pichl and Christoph Georg Schweickhardtsreiter zu Sweykhartsrieth - take over the property and sell it in 1592 to the noble captain Leonhard Ehrgott. This was in 1596 colonel captain of the Royal Majesty of Spain, Salzburg council of war, and in 1600 by Emperor Rudolf II. In the kingdom nobility raised. He rebuilt the house in Liefering , which had meanwhile become a castle , and essentially gave it its current appearance. A west wing as barracks as well as a curtain wall around the castle and a drawbridge that no longer exists were added. Leonhard Ehrgott had remained childless despite multiple marriages. Therefore, the property went to a Georg Ludwig Grimming via the detour of his nieces and nephews. This was followed by nobility such as Ludwig von Grimming zu Neudegg and Liefering, Dorothea Countess von Schernberg and Thomas Perger von Emslieb.
From 1685 the " Adeliche Süz Lifering " seems to have come to Franz Georg Grembs, City and Court Medic of Salzburg and related by marriage to the Grimmings. After his death in 1706, his daughter Anna Ursula and his son Stephan Adam sold the estate to their curator Adam Franz Gutrater (hence the name Gutratshof). In 1741 he sold the castle to his son Carl Adam. After his death, his six children inherited the property. In 1758 Joseph Claudi von Altguetrat, his sister Maria Franziska Theresia and her mother Maria Elisabeth sold the entire property to Johann Marian Lürzer von Zehendthal. This was the last noble owner of the castle estate. He was followed in quick succession by the brewer Lorenz Hierl (1763), his wife Kunigund Böstin (1793), Franz Hörl or Hierl (1803), Anna Waldherr (1824) and finally Jakob Helminger through auction (1833). Katharina Helminger married Hans Unger in 1949. Their descendants still live on the manor today.
In 1929 a great storm tore away the shingle roof of the castle. The roof was restored in a slightly modified form. In the following years the building was gradually renovated . In 1949 the castle farm was placed under monument protection.
description
The castle was probably built in its present form at the beginning of the 17th century. It is a three-storey, cubic building with a mighty hipped roof , connected to the Anna Chapel in the east by a connecting wing.
In 1606 the Anna chapel was built under Leonhard Ehrgott and consecrated in honor of the feast of the Assumption of Mary. Its east side borders on the residence. It is a tall, two-bay , north-south facing hall building with a polygonal apse (3/8 end) in the north. The entrance facade in the south is crowned by a curved volute gable and a roof turret with an onion helmet.
The interior of the chapel has a barrel vault with stitch caps and a pilaster structure with Ionic capitals . Reliefs of the four evangelists can be seen in the stucco vault from the third quarter of the 18th century . In 1975 the renovation of the chapel began. Old fresco remains with depictions of the apostles were uncovered. Remnants of baroque wall paintings from the 17th century as door and window frames, Apostle crosses and half-figures have been heavily renewed.
The original Renaissance altar with the altarpiece of the Assumption - the original patronage for the Feast of the Assumption - was sold to an unknown location in the interwar period. One picture shows Mary as the rosary queen and the donor of the chapel. A renaissance picture of Anna selbdritt by Arsenio Mascagni was given to the Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria in 1824 . The current altar with a cross dates from the third quarter of the 18th century. In 1976 the chapel was consecrated anew by Prelate Ferdinand Grell.
