history

Castle Tschenglburg mountain was purely for military purposes and without Palas built and is already mentioned in 1193 as a possession of the Knights of Tschengls. Due to the remoteness of the castle, the nearby Tschenglsburg was built later . From 1330 the Knights of Tschengls were fiefdoms of the Tyrolean sovereign . As Churian Chancellor, they had their own jurisdiction, not only over Tschengls, but also over Prad . After the von Tschengls died out in 1421, the castle first passed to the Lebenberg family, then to the Fuchsberg family and later to the Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn family . Today it is owned by Siegfried de Rachewiltz . Viewing is not possible.
