WALD-LAND-HOF Schloss Rosenau

We invite everyone who has ever dreamed of spending unforgettable moments in impressive surroundings to the vacation home. There is room for up to 10 people to relax, recharge their batteries, celebrate, live, hike, ride and swim. Relax in beauty.

There are many houses, farms and vacation homes, but only a few whose history dates back to 1787 and whose current appearance was shaped by an artist and later by an architect, master builder, my wife and myself.

The farm, which is over 200 years old, is located in the forests of the northern Waldviertel not far from the baroque Rosenau Castle near Zwettl on a 10,000 m² property around 140 km northwest of Vienna.

Habitable sculpture of Fantastic Realism

In the 1980s, the German-born painter Bernhard Eder, who studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and Vienna, bought the farm and renovated the building by sculpting the walls inside and out with his own hands, transforming the old walls into a fantastic sculpture.

Viennese architect with a sense for the old

In the 1990s, the Viennese architect Reinhard Gallister was commissioned to plan the extension of the courtyard.

Gallister's talent as a specialist in sensitive renovation was also demonstrated in the conversion of the former University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna's third district into the University of Music and Performing Arts.
