Lehár Villa, Neoclassical villa museum in Bad Ischl, Austria.
The Lehár Villa is a neoclassical residence in Bad Ischl set on elevated ground with views over the surroundings. The building combines Biedermeier and neoclassical style elements and houses a museum displaying original furnishings and the personal collections of its former resident.
The composer Franz Lehár purchased the house in 1912 and used it as his summer residence until his death in 1948. During these decades, he composed many of his most celebrated operettas while living and working within these walls.
The house reflects the life of composer Franz Lehár, with his personal belongings and furnishings still displayed throughout the rooms. Visitors can walk through spaces that show how the musician lived and worked during his time here.
The property sits on elevated ground with paved paths and is relatively easy to reach on foot. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since touring the historic rooms requires walking through multiple spaces.
The house has been preserved according to the exact wishes in Lehár's will, with every piece of furniture and object remaining in its original position. This remarkable fidelity to the original arrangement gives visitors a rare glimpse into the unaltered personal surroundings of a celebrated composer.
