Villa Schmederer

Villa Schmederer is a heritage-protected residence in Aigen featuring a three-story facade with a hipped roof and classical round-arched windows decorated with wrought ironwork throughout. The property includes a chapel, gardener's house, greenhouse, and swimming pool as part of its complete ensemble.

The villa was built in 1889 as a residence for a Bavarian brewery owner who lived there until 1935. The structure reflects the design preferences of its original period and continues to define the estate's character.

The villa once housed a ballet school and served as a performance venue, hosting classical artists over several decades. Visitors today can sense how the spaces were adapted to support these cultural activities.

The estate with its various buildings can be explored on foot to get a sense of the full layout and design. The location in Aigen is accessible and visitors can view the property from its exterior areas.

In 1983, a renowned opera singer filmed a Christmas special here, performing alongside puppets from a theater company. This unlikely artistic collaboration transformed the villa into a filming location for an international television project.
