History

The establishment of the castle might have to be set around 1230. The owner and the purpose of the original plant are unknown.

Starting from 1249 the Veste was in the possession of the high pin freesings and with castle guardians or male nurses was occupied. 1294 handed over count Berthold III. of Eschenlohe to the high pin a part of its county and for it to the castle guardian were ordered. After the establishment the castle served the freisingischen county rock as maintaining office and court seat. However not all male nurses took their domicile on the castle.

In 15. The Freisinger the plant from money scarcity had to pawn century several times. The structural condition of the castle seems itself up to the beginning 17. Century to have worsened in such a manner that the maintaining seat was shifted 1632 into a new authority building on "„the Wang "“. Starting from 1676 one exploited the Veste as quarry. So numerous castle stones reused with the new building of the baroque parish churches of Farchant and mix.

In the course of the secularization castle and county came at Bavaria. 1822 acquired the Bavarian Council of State Ignaz of Rudhart the ruin, which is since then in private property.

1905/06 the walls were reconstructed partial secured and. After a wall crown safety device in the years 1961/63 began finally 1986 further measures of reorganization, which are resumed since then in smaller sections.

Description

The castle was put on on an eastern of the Kramer (Ammergauer alps). As building material served the lining up limestone, which one broke in "„the lock forest "“above the Veste. Remarkable are there also the remnants of six circular Kalkbrennereien, which could be examined 1997 archaeologically.

In the south and the west a deep neck ditch protects the plant. That approximately square, increases lying core castle (27.6 x 24.8 m) is northern and west two fore-castles 14. and 15. Century pre-aged.

The donjon rose to or over northwesthits a corner the main castle, however today on a debris hill completely went off (abort 1728/30). The tower served in 15. /16 century also as prison.

The partly received north wall of the Palas is interrupted in the ground floor by three large pointed elbow openings, whose actual function to today mysteries gives up.

The castle was probably rather administrative seat as weir structure and a serious FE storage would have not for a long time resisted. The amounted to on the average only about 90 centimeters, the attack side one did not strengthen or one did not protect by flanking towers.
