The lost tower of St. Margarethen is located in the municipality of Sankt Margarethen in the Lungau of the State of Salzburg (probably near the parish church of St. Margaretha , Kirchgasse 2).

history

The tower ( the ancient liberated noble Syz and the bricked floor of St. Margarethen ) was the ancestral seat of the Mosheimer or Mooshamer family, which can be traced back to 1212. At that time Otto von Moosheim witnessed a donation to the Gurk Monastery . A Thomas Mosheimer is named as a servant of the Salzburg archbishops. In the course of a feud in 1285, the Moshamers lost Moosham Castle to the Archbishop of Salzburg, Rudolf von Hoheneck, and then withdrew to St. Margarethen.

The rule was endowed with court rights . Grave slabs of Wilhelm von Mosheim from 1533 and Brigitte von Leobenegg from 1554, a born von Mosheim, are on the outer wall of the parish church of St. Margarethen.

Georg von Mosheim's widow, Ursula Diether zu Schedling, received the tower as a memorial . Since she moved to Neumarkt am Wallersee , the property was administered by Lukas Kölderer. The son of Ursula, Ehrnreich von Mosheim, took over this residence in 1579. His son Andre von Mosheim and his wife Elisabeth von Staudach, née Hofer zu Uhrfahr, sold the property on November 1, 1616 to the brothers Carl, Reichardt, Erasam and Christoph von Kuenburg . The purchase contract was only issued later, by Laux Ehrnreich von Mosheim auf Ottamach, on March 16, 1637 in Klagenfurt. In 1726 the family of the Lords of Moosham, who had an ibex in their coat of arms, died out.

The tower remained in the Kuenburger family until 1877. The associated agricultural land was leased, in the 19th century Gertrauth Gellin was the tenant for life; the brick floor was rented to various parties. In 1859 it was planned to set up a peeling station here, but this was not carried out because of the high costs.

1877 was awarded the seat Albine skewer through Einantwortung and in the same year Filipp Abuja married one. In 1912 the estate was bought by Franz and Aloisia Lanschützer, who were followed by Franz in 1938 and Helmut Lanschützer in 1967.
