Persenbeug Castle
Highlight • Castle
Anno 1045, the Sempt-Ebersberger family died out with the death of Adalberos II on March 27, 1045. On May 27, the widow organized a solemn inheritance settlement at the castle, at which King Heinrich III. was present. Then the floor of the knight's hall collapsed due to overload, so that the whole company fell; the king escaped with minor injuries; Bishop Bruno of Würzburg and Abbot Altmann of Ebersberg lost their lives; Richlind, the widow of Adalbero II, the last Ebersberger, is also said to have died.
Over the centuries, the castle changed hands many times. It was owned by the Habsburgs until 1593. It was then sold to the Hoyo family, who expanded the castle into its current form. On December 3, 1800, Emperor Franz I of Austria bought the castle and the Persenbiege estate as free private property. At approximately the same time, the Gutenbrunn estate also became the property of Franz I, which was also incorporated into his private fund. Furthermore, Rorregg[1] Castle in Yspertal is still part of the Persenbieger estate today.
Through several inheritances, the dominions of Persenbeug and Gutenbrunn came into the possession of Emperor Franz Joseph I, who passed them on to his daughter Marie Valerie in 1916. On August 17, 1887, the last Emperor of Austria, Charles I, was born at Persenbieg Castle. Marie Valerie married Archduke Franz Salvator of Austria-Tuscany (1866–1939) in 1890. Her children, including Hubert Salvator Habsburg-Lorraine, followed as owners of Persenbeug Castle and Rorregg Castle, as well as Wallsee Castle and the Imperial Villa in Bad Ischl. Today the castle is owned by their descendants from the Habsburg-Lothringen and Waldburg-Zeil families (Wikipedia).
