Kamegg Castle

The castle is first mentioned in a document as early as 1150 with Heinrich de Chambecha. The first lords of the castle named themselves after the castle. They were a ministerial family of the Babenbergs and probably belonged to the family of the Lords of Kaja. Their members are mentioned repeatedly until 1312.

In the 13th century, a significant expansion of the castle took place. In the second half of the 14th century, it came into the possession of the Kamegg-Kaja line of the Kuenringer. After that, the Maissauer resided here. In the 15th century, Kamegg was owned by the Eytzinger. From 1534 to 1620, the Lords of Puchheim were the lords of the castle. In 1620, the dominion was united with that of Rosenburg. By this time, the small fortified building had long since lost any military significance.

Since it no longer met the increased demands for comfort and convenience and also had no judicial function, the castle was soon abandoned and fell into disrepair. However, masses are said to have been read in the castle chapel until 1786. In the 19th century, Kamegg became a complete ruin.
