Emmerberg Castle Ruins
Highlight • Castle
Around the year 1170, the castle was first mentioned in documents for the Lords of Emmerberg. At that time it was an important base in the fortification line on the northern border of the Carantanic Mark. The Emmerberger died out in 1455, but Ludwig von Eckartsau was already in 1384 invested in the castle.
In 1249 the castle Emmerberg is called "castle castrum". Burgherren are Wolfenreut, Teufel, Brassican Spaur and Heußensteiner.
Emmerberg never had to prove itself militarily. When, because of the threat of the Turks in the 17th century, the castles of Lower Austria were tested for their suitability for war, Emmerberg was not designated as a place of escape for the population.
The castle Emmerberg was inhabited until 1760. At that time, the destruction of the castle by Count Heinrich von Heussenstein was initiated. He left to cover the roof tax to cover the oak roof chair and sell. Since then, the castle has been abandoned to decay. Today, the grounds of the castle ruin may not be entered due to dilapidation.
