Ruins of Mölltheuer Castle (Penk) A 9816 Reißeck

Type: Interesting

Description:
Between 1234 and 1237, a 'Heinricus de Pench' is mentioned as a judge of Görz. The place is also repeatedly mentioned in the Görz urbar of 1299. The brothers Bernhardus and Bertholdus de Penche, appearing in documents from 1271 and 1277, were probably Görz ministeriales residing at Penk Castle. In 1301, Count Albert granted property in Penk to Nikolaus von Lienz, previously held by Heinrich von Gschieß. In the land division of the Görz counts in 1307, Penk fell to Count Albert. This is the first documentary mention of a castle at Penk. In 1390, Friedrich de Fleck sat at the castle.
