Schüttgut

Schüttgut is a working farm in Schüttdorf near Zell am See in Austria featuring a Pinzgauer farmhouse with a stone ground floor and a wooden upper level. Two additional agricultural buildings frame the property and form a typical farmyard layout with the main house.

Ferdinand Porsche acquired the property in 1941 after his son Ferry discovered it during travels through Austria in the 1930s. The family used the farm as a retreat in the Alps over the following decades.

The small white chapel beside the main house holds memorial plaques, a simple altar with a cross, and a Pietà sculpture. Visitors can sense the religious tradition of alpine farmhouses preserved here in a private setting.

The property sits in a quiet location outside the center of Zell am See, surrounded by meadows and forests. Access is limited as this remains a private family estate still operating as a farm.

The chapel serves as the final resting place of Ferdinand Porsche along with other members of the Porsche and Piëch families. This private memorial site connects Austrian rural tradition with the history of a well-known European industrial family.
