Trenninghof Manor

The first documentary mention of an “ager in Trenich” dates back to 1302 in Urbar A of Göttweig Abbey, followed by another mention as “ager am Trenichk” in 1361. The estate was first referred to as “Hof an dem Trening” in 1427, owned by Hanns Neydegker (Hans von Neidegger). The Neidegger family, who also owned the nearby Oberranna Castle, held the Trenninghof in the 15th and likely 16th centuries. In 1571, Christoph Greiß zu Wald und Pielach acquired the manor and shaped its current appearance through renovations. Over the next 300 years, Trenninghof frequently changed owners. A notable figure was Ernst Vergani, who owned the estate from 1882 to 1897 and founded Austria's first Raiffeisenkasse in 1886. From 1957 to 2012, Trenninghof belonged to the Reifmüller family (later Blauensteiner), the last operators of the Mühldorf graphite mine. Since 2012, the Weißmann family has owned the manor and carried out extensive restoration and revitalization work.
