Lehár-Schikaneder-Schlössl, Historical residence in Nussdorf, Vienna, Austria
The Lehár-Schikaneder-Schlössl is a two-story baroque building decorated with pilasters and delicate stucco details on its exterior. Inside, a small museum celebrates Franz Lehár's compositions, while a baroque chapel displays ceiling frescoes of the Holy Trinity.
In 1737, Joachim Georg Schwandtner acquired the property and transformed it into the baroque mansion seen today. Franz Lehár later purchased the building, leaving his mark on Vienna's musical heritage.
Emanuel Schikaneder, the librettist behind Mozart's The Magic Flute, lived here from 1802 to 1812 and shaped Vienna's musical world. His presence in the house connects directly to the city's operatic traditions.
The building sits in a quiet residential area and is easily reached on foot or by public transport. Access to the chapel and museum is available during opening hours, so it is best to check beforehand for current visiting times.
The renowned tenor Richard Tauber married actress Diana Napier in the mansion's chapel, a moment embedded in Vienna's operatic story. The altar dates to 1720 and features carved figures of Saints Joseph and Anthony.
