Deutschvilla

Deutschvilla is a two-story villa in Strobl built in Tuscan style, featuring multiple rooms and architectural details from the early 20th century. The structure reflects the design principles of that period and has been adapted over time to serve cultural purposes today.

The building was constructed in 1906 by entrepreneur George Schinteliffe-Blakey and received its name from major renovations in the 1920s by banker Otto Deutsch and architect Viktor Kafka. These changes shaped its present form and function.

The villa functions as a space for contemporary art exhibitions and cultural gatherings that draw visitors during the warmer months. The rooms host concerts, lectures, and discussions, giving the house an active intellectual life today.

The building is open to visitors during the summer months when exhibitions and events take place. Guided tours and further information are available through the cultural organization on site.

Between 1945 and 1955 the house served as an officers' club under American military control, with a bar and café, after being seized during the war. This period left marks on the place and its role in local history.
