Zellhof

The Zellhof estate extends across a land bridge between Obertrumersee and Grabensee lakes, containing multiple agricultural buildings and a religious sanctuary at 514 meters elevation.

First documented in 1458 as a chapel dedicated to Saint George, the Zellhof property became part of Stift Mattsee's holdings in 1789 through direct purchase.

The chapel gained recognition as a pilgrimage destination in the late 1600s due to its healing spring and the carved replica of the Black Madonna from Altötting.

The property now functions as an international scout center and campsite, welcoming youth groups since the 1970s with facilities for outdoor activities and gatherings.

The site features a protected natural monument, a 300-year-old linden tree with a canopy spanning up to 23 meters in diameter.
