Marketenderschlössl, Estate on Mönchsberg, one of the city mountains of Salzburg

The Marketenderschlössl is a protected heritage building set on the Mönchsberg hill in Salzburg, tucked away in a secluded corner. The structure displays features from multiple periods, with original masonry from the 1500s, an ornately carved well, and added military spaces that defined its form over time.

The building was constructed in 1560 by the Frankmann family as a residence and was then called Frankmannschlössl. In the 1600s it became a military supply station for troops, gaining its present name, and the Pallottines purchased the property in 1926 to later use it for student housing.

The name Marketenderschlössl comes from the butcher's stall (Fleischbank) set up for sutlers (Marketender) after the estate was sold to the Salzburg Landschaft on 8 January 1677 and converted into a barracks. The earlier name, Senioratschlössl, referred to its use by the senior member of the cathedral chapter from 1604.

The building sits in a quiet area of Mönchsberg and is easy to miss, so it helps to look carefully when walking in the neighborhood. Visitors should know that it is mostly used by a university today, but the exterior area and surroundings are freely accessible.

The draw well in front of the building, renovated in 1980, bears the year 1560 and two coats of arms from the house's early history. Around 1900 a confusion of feet and fathoms gave rise to the rumour that the well was 60 m deep; it is in fact just over 10 m deep.
