History

Dating back to 1706, the Schwarzenbach villa boasts a rich history. In fact, until 1930, the Schwarzenbach estate was home to the descendants of German aristocrats; Petrus and Judith von Goerschen, members of an ancient German noble family that has been known since the 12th century.

Until 2014, the villa belonged to Denes Festetics de Tolna, a member of the Festetics family, whose history dates back to 1566. The Festetics were a noble and wealthy family that came to Austria-Hungary from Croatia and became famous as patrons of the arts and sciences. It is also worth noting that the garage, swimming pool and tower were constructed by the talented architect Heinz Karbus between 1974 and 1989.

Meanwhile, in order to overhaul the property, the present owner of the Schwarzenbach villa hired one of the country’s leading construction companies in Salzkammergut; ZEBAU. The entire renovation finished in 2020 and contractors did everything by hand, preserving the uniqueness of the property.
