Robinighof Castle

The Robinighof is a Baroque palace built in 1648 in the Schallmoos district of Salzburg (Robinigstraße 35).

The Robinighof was first mentioned in 1648, shortly after the first major drainage measures in Schallmoos by Archbishop Paris Lodron, and was initially owned by the cathedral chapter. The court is located on the eastern main drainage ditch of Schallmoos, which is now known as the Lämmererbach. In 1744, this court was acquired by Joseph Robinig and in 1750 converted into a Rococo palace according to plans by Franz Anton Danreiter. Danreiter was also a court gardener and had contributed to the design of the Mirabell Garden, so it was natural to create a park here as well. Inside the house, the iron merchant Georg Josef Robinig von Rottenfeld had classical frescoes installed around 1785.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was friends with the Robinig family's children (Sigismund and Luise), was also a frequent visitor to the house. Sigmund Robinig (*September 5, 1787 Salzburg, † March 10, 1843 Salzburg) married the innkeeper's daughter Anna Maria Freudens- or Freudlsperger in 1818. Sigmund's widow (their only son had died in the year of his birth) lived until 1851 and bequeathed the remaining assets to a certain Karl Buxbaum.
