Schloss Lehenhof, Scheibbs

Schloss Lehenhof, Scheibbs, Heritage villa in Scheibbs, Austria.

Schloss Lehenhof is a villa in Scheibbs with a horseshoe-shaped design comprising three wings arranged around a central courtyard. The building is topped with hipped roofs and faces toward the mountain landscape, with the estate spreading across an extensive property.

The villa was built between 1835 and 1840 by Count Almasy and initially served as a summer home for poet Albrecht von Wickenburg. A century later, furniture maker Thonet occupied the space from 1925 to 1939.

The name Villa Almasy recalls Count Almásy, who built the house, and Wilhelmine von Wickenburg, born Countess Almásy, who spent summers here with her poet husband Albrecht. From 1925 to 1939 tenant Victor Thonet kept a music room hung with Josef Maria Auchentaller's eight oil paintings for the Villa Scheid music room (1898/99), surrounded by furniture by Otto Wagner, Marcel Kammerer and Otto Prutscher. A bronze bust by Peter Breithut stood in the garden.

The three-winged building stands on a hillside terrace beside the Erlauftal road in the Hochbruck hamlet of Scheibbs, its main front facing down the valley. The courtyard side opens toward the mountain, and a flight of steps leads to a fountain basin in front of the house. The villa was empty from 2010 and has been privately owned since a 2021 auction, so the grounds are not open to visitors.

Physicist Albert von Ettingshausen acquired the property in 1912 and had the main facade redesigned in neoclassical style. Later, the Thonet furniture company created a music room within the estate featuring works by artist Josef Maria Auchentaller.
