Weyerturm Castle

The tower is one of the oldest buildings in Pinzgau. It was first mentioned in a document in 1130 with Rapoto de Wiare. With Gerhoh von Weyer, his family disappeared from Pinzgau. He was still referred to as a Chiemsee vassal in 1270, so it can be assumed that he had ceded the Weyer Tower to the Bishops of Chiemsee shortly before. They appointed Walther von Neukirchen as administrator in 1292. In 1454, Florian Stuhlfelder was enfeoffed with the lordship by the bishop. Among the feudal tenants of the 16th century were Gregor Mandl (1504), the pastor of Bramberg Ludwig Lebenauer (1519) and Christian Plank (1533).

The Weyer Tower offered little space and thus no longer met the living requirements of the 16th century. Nikolaus Ainöder therefore moved to the Meierhof located on the street and bought himself out of the maintenance obligation for the tower. The tower was no longer used and was left to decay. Around 1628, the tower and farm probably passed into the ownership of the former feudal tenants. From 1671 to 1691, Severin Senninger is mentioned as the owner. He was followed by Anna Maria Rottmayerin until 1732.

In 1733, the estate passed to the ancestors of the current owners, the Meilinger family. Today, the excellently restored Weyerhof is a popular restaurant. The tower ruin, on which trees were already growing, was also secured and restored from 1992 onwards.
