The Puchheim's castle in Heidenreichstein

Puccheim family

Puchheim, Upper Austria, town and castle in the municipality of Attnang-Puchheim in the district of Vöcklabruck. A noble family of ministerials named itself after Puchheim in the 12th century, but exchanged its main residence for Litschau and Heidenreichstein Castles in Lower Austria in 1348. The members of this house later bore the titles baron and count and had their residences in Göllersdorf, Raabs, Krumbach and Horn in Lower Austria. During the Reformation several members of the house possessed considerable influence among the Lower Austrian nobility. The Horn line of this house was expropriated in 1622; in 1657 the Krumbach line died out, the Raabs line in 1702 and the Göllersdorf line in 1718. Important members were Pilgrim III (b. before 1314, d. 1384), chancellor to Duke Albrecht III, and Archbishop Pilgrim II of Salzburg 1365-1396. In 1608 the castle of Adam von Puchheim of the Horn line was used by the members of the nobility who attempted to form an alliance against Archduke Matthias.
