history

View of Steinegg, postcard around 1900.

The place was first mentioned in 1210 when a Kolo von Steinekke owned the castle. In the 14th century it was owned by the Lords of Maissau and in 1428 it passed to Duke Albrecht V of Austria . Probably in the same century it fell into ruin.

At the end of the 19th century, Steinegg developed into a small summer resort . After 1945 the place could no longer connect to this. Changed travel habits, but also the construction of the Kamptal reservoirs, which led to a sharp drop in temperature in the Kamp, which is lined with numerous bathing establishments, deprived tourism in the Kamptal of its most important foundations.
