BACKSTORY: Wolfsegg Castle dates back to the 13th century. Having stood in town for so long it has become a major part of the village’s landscape and influenced its surrounding community greatly. It was built by a wealthy man known as Ulrich Von Laaber to act as a strategic stronghold for the area. Though the castle never had to act as a defensive structure, it was important to provide peace of mind for its community. Wolfsegg Castle mostly acted as lodging for traveling troops. It was later abandoned and left to the community who used it as a shelter for families in need, though leaving it in desperate need of rejuvenation. Finally, the castle was largely restored by a wealthy and eccentric man. These restoration efforts continue today and are performed largely by a team of volunteers. The most famous ghost story of Wolfsegg Castle relates to the wife of the man who had it made, Klara Von Helfenstein.Legend tells of trouble within the couple’s marriage, caused by Ulrich’s military responsibilities that caused him to constantly travel. In his absence, Klara would become bored and lonely at the castle and looked to others to fulfill her needs. Eventually, Klara engaged in an affair, which was later discovered by Ulrich. Legend states that Ulrich had her killed one night in her chamber by local men after discovering her adultery. Ever since her murder, tales of a white woman roaming the halls of the castle, especially within Klara’s bedroom, circulated. Many believe that this is Klara’s spirit and she is also thought responsible for poltergeist activity, causing disturbances in electromagnetic fields, producing strange light anomalies and full-bodied apparition sightings.
