Rauchenbichlerhof, Listed manor house in Schallmoos, Austria
The Rauchenbichlerhof is a protected manor house in Salzburg's Schallmoos district built with stone from Kapuzinerberg quarries. The two-story building with its gabled roof sits alongside a small historical garden featuring a Baroque pavilion.
The estate was first recorded in 1120 as Waldbichlhof and came under the Benedictine monastery of St. Peter's control from 1238 onward. A major renovation around 1750 transformed its appearance into what visitors see today.
The Fabrizini merchant family left their stone-carved crest above the southern entrance during their ownership, serving as a sign of their wealth and status. This kind of family marking was typical for prominent merchants who wanted to claim their stake in property.
The manor sits at the corner of Sterneckstraße and Linzer Bundesstraße in Salzburg under private ownership. Since it is not open to visitors, you can only view it from the street outside.
In 1831 the manor was purchased by Baroness Emilie Victorine Wolfsberg, a former companion of Napoleon Bonaparte, who earned the local nickname 'Hundsgräfin' for her many dogs. This curious title became part of the property's story in Salzburg's memory.
