Biography
Buol von Schauenstein was born in 1729, the son of Rudolf Anton Buol von Schauenstein. He married Johanna, Countess of Sarntheim. Originally a canon of Chur, he renounced the ecclesiastical state and became Austrian minister to the Three Leagues from 1765 to 1792.[1]
After the death of the sons of his uncle Johann Anton Buol von Schauenstein, he inherited the title of Baron of Schauenstein, as well as the lordships of Reichenau and Tamins. Burdened with debt, he sold his properties in 1792 to the Bavier trading house and to Georg Anton Vieli.[1]
