Kogl House

One cannot see the nearby Lake Attersee from Kogl House, but one can sense it, just as the joie de vivre derived from culturally enriched relaxation can be felt throughout the entire Salzkammergut region. This is far removed from urban splendour, indeed even the gravel paths in the park seem to crunch in a more relaxed manner than those in Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace.

Enjoy the unique atmosphere of Kogl House in one of Austria’s most beautiful regions.

The charming and impressive mansion was built at the beginning of the 19th century and was formally owned by Count Khevenhüller before it was sold to Dr. Pausinger in 1810. Pausinger’s son was a painter of repute and completed the famous allegorical frescoes in the hallway, as well as the hunting scenes in the dining room. In 1872, Baron Mayr-Melnhof purchased the mansion, which he then handed to his daughter, Countess Dorothea Kottulinsky, in 1884. The countess, who was known throughout the Attergau for her charitable works added another floor to the building, which she also renovated.

Engelhart and Komlossy painted the excellent frescoes, which depict scenes from Ferdinand Raimund’s “Verschwender” (“The Wastrel”). Today, Baron Mayr-Melnhof, a nephew of Countess Kottulinsky, owns the house where he lives with his family. Following thorough restoration work, the representational rooms (max. 150 persons) are now open all through the year for special occasions such as receptions, seminars and weddings, etc. The park can also be rented for summer events.
