Lehár-Schikaneder-Castle

The building was constructed in 1737 and at that time received its baroque garden facade. In the first half of the 19th century, it underwent a conversion that transformed the property into a small palace. From 1802 to 1812, it was the residence of Emanuel Schikaneder, the librettist of Mozart's “The Magic Flute.” Later, from 1932 to 1944, the operetta composer Franz Lehár lived here, creating his operetta “Giuditta” during this period. Anton Lehár, the composer's brother and recipient of the Military Order of Maria Theresa, also resided in the Schlössl until his death in 1962. The salon on the upper floor now preserves paintings, photographs, and documents commemorating these figures.
