Description
In the small municipality of Prigglitz, located between Vienna and Graz, you can marvel at art in the open air from spring to late fall at the Gasteil estate. Works by international artists are presented on an area of around 16 hectares. During the opening hours of the gallery, visitors are also provided with a delicious organic snack. The Gasteil estate is easily accessible by car as well as by public transport. In addition, the estate with the gallery can be hiked and is one of the cultural highlights on numerous hiking trails and bike tours in the Vienna Alps.
Impressive art objects amidst picturesque scenery, a gallery with exhibitions that change several times, and an organic farm whose delicious products can be tasted during a visit - there is always something to marvel at at Gut Gasteil from spring to late autumn.
The magnificent estate on the sunny south-facing slope above Gloggnitz, with a wide range of exhibition possibilities on an area of 16 hectares, has developed into an artistic center of attraction.
Continuously renewed works of art in the open air communicate with the picturesque surroundings and the attached gallery presents the works of respected artists in changing exhibitions. Last but not least, the delicacies of the hotel's own organic farm lure guests to the Schwarza Valley between Schneeberg and Rax.
Architect Hubert Gessner & builder Dr. Max Silberberg
The stately mansion was built between 1920 and 1924 under the owner and lawyer Dr. Max Silberberg from Vienna. The architect was the Otto Wagner student Hubert Gessner. Gessner designed numerous residential buildings in Vienna in the interwar period, including remarkable municipal buildings such as the Lasallehof on the Reichsbrücke or the Reumannhof on the Margaretengürtel. In Prigglitz one moves in the ambience of an upper middle-class summer resort villa from the interwar period.
