Neustift i. Mühlkreis, Upper Austria
In 1575, the Rannariedl dominion received the right of "high jurisdiction", meaning the lord of the castle could pronounce the death sentence. Therefore, a "permanent" high court, which could not be devastated at night, was built in Dorf. Today, a gallows column still tells of condemnation and death in those times. A memorial plaque installed in 1978 bears the following inscription: "As a witness to the former power of the lords of Rannariedl, this 'permanent high court', erected in 1575, tells of condemnation and death." From Linz via Eferding or Aschach to Neustift im Mühlkreis. From Passau via Untergriesbach or Wegscheid to Neustift im Mühlkreis.
