Krumfelden Castle
History of the Building+
The manor "predium Chrumpenveliwe" was already mentioned in a document by Archbishop Gebhard of Salzburg in 1074. The castle was built in the 18th century.
From Manor to Castle+
The original manor, first documented in 1074, underwent significant transformations over the centuries. While its early form was primarily agricultural, its strategic location and the increasing wealth of its owners led to its gradual development into a fortified residence.
The 18th Century Transformation
The most significant architectural changes occurred in the 18th century. During this period, the existing structures were largely demolished or incorporated into a grand new design, resulting in the construction of the present-day castle. This era marked a shift from a utilitarian manor to a representative aristocratic seat, reflecting the Baroque architectural trends of the time.
