Trenninghof Manor

The current appearance dates back to renovations in the Renaissance in the second half of the 16th century, during which the medieval courtyard (with Gothic vaults) was extended by two further wings. The valley-side wing is characterized by a high tower with a wedge roof. In the 19th century, additions were made in the Historicist style (e.g., east-side portal and balcony). Noteworthy are the historic wooden beam ceiling and the monastery floor in the main room, the Gothic and Renaissance vaults, the historic doors with old locks and hinges, and the sandstone frame of the courtyard-side window. On the grounds of the property, there is a stone figure of Saint Nepomuk from the Biedermeier period.

In the years 2012/2013, extensive restoration work was carried out on the interior and exterior. On the exterior, the focus was on a new roof covering with Eternit shingles to relieve the historic roof truss, which is at least 300 years old, from the weight of the tile covering. On the other hand, the plaster on the courtyard and garden-side facade was restored with pure lime. The majority of the removed chimneys were rebuilt from the attic over the roof. A concrete extension from the 1960s was demolished to restore the original courtyard shape of the 16th century. All windows, doors, and passages that had been bricked up over the centuries were uncovered and opened again. In the interior, the historic wooden floors and doors were renovated or reconstructed. On the courtyard and garden side, the plastic windows were removed and wooden box windows were installed. The historic vaults and wooden ceilings were restored.

Discussions are currently underway with the Federal Monuments Office, as the Trenninghof is not yet a protected monument and a protection status is being sought. Furthermore, the establishment of a permanent presentation of works by the Lower Austrian artist Leopold Hauer is planned (information provided by the Weißmann family).
