Schottenhof, Protected cultural site in Penzing, Austria.

Schottenhof is a former forest keeper's house built in 1840 on a ridge of the Amundsenstraße at 382 m, between Vienna's 14th and 17th districts near the Lower Austrian border. The white-walled building with its modern extension houses a restaurant, a large riding hall, and the forestry administration of the Schottenstift monastery.

The property was built in 1840 on commission from Abbot Sigismund Schultes to serve as a residence for the forest keeper. Its origins are tied to the management of nearby woodland and the monastic community that oversaw it.

The site now hosts a riding school that offers equestrian programs for children and therapeutic sessions for people with disabilities. These activities shape the daily life of the place and give it a role in the community beyond a simple historic building.

A parking area near the restaurant serves as a convenient starting point for hiking trails leading into surrounding mountains and forest areas. The location makes it easy to access several routes suited for different walking abilities and interests.

The name Schottenhof only became common usage; the building was first called Taferlhof and later Sigmundshof after its builder, Abbot Sigismund Schultes. The forestry administration of the Schottenstift still occupies the complex, so the monastic forest district between Hütteldorf and Dornbach is managed from the same spot as in 1840.
