Robinighof

The Robinighof is a manor house in Schallmoos featuring a Rococo facade with a high volute gable and a relief medallion of Saint Joseph above the entrance portal. The building is surrounded by a tree-lined driveway dating from the early 19th century that completes the ensemble with its rural character.

The property was founded in 1648 and came into the possession of Joseph Robinig in 1744, who transformed it into a Rococo residence following plans by Franz Anton Danreiter. This transformation was part of a broader trend among Salzburg's nobility to convert rural estates into fashionable 18th-century residences.

This residence served as a gathering place for Salzburg's wealthy families and reflects the social role that such noble estates held in the city. The artistic design shows how important it was for the family to express their wealth and taste through architecture.

The building is a protected monument situated in a quiet rural setting on the edge of Salzburg. A visit is easiest on foot, as the house is surrounded by narrow paths and green areas.

A late classical urn fountain in front of the house bears the inscription 'Erected by Maria von Rubinich' and points to the family's iron and mining business. This detail reveals a less familiar connection between Salzburg's architecture and the area's 18th-century mining trade.
