history
According to many Roman finds, the Förthofer ferry must have been heavily used from around AD 100. According to legend, Charlemagne is said to have founded the court. Originally the ferry belonged to the German king, later to the Bishop of Passau , who enfeoffed the Austrian duke with it around 1240 . From this the transfer rights were granted.
"Rapoto de Urfar" appears for the first time in 1220. In 1325 Albrecht Schenk called himself "von Ferthoven".
With the construction of the Danube bridge in 1463, the courtyard only served as a road block. In 1291 the Matthias Chapel was built next to the residence, over which a patronage right existed for the Förthof.
Isack Aspan vom Haag appears as the owner around 1530, who also carries out various renovations and introduces Protestant services in the chapel. These existed until 1613. From 1589, the Protestants of the cities of Krems and Stein were forced to attend church services outside of the city (expiry), mostly in addition to the Förthof and Rehberg Castle .
In 1624 the chapel came to the Dürnstein Monastery , and in 1788 to the Herzogenburg Monastery . The Förthof was part of the Dürnstein manor until 1848 . Around 1850 it was reorganized into the town of Stein. Today the construction is private property of the residents.
description
The Förthof is just west of Stein an der Donau, next to the Wachauer Bundesstraße . The spacious, two to three-storey multi-wing system, due to the terrain, irregularly encloses a corresponding, incidentally 4-sided inner courtyard. The core of the complex goes to the 2nd H. d. 16th century back, but the irregular, polygonal northern areas with the driveway on the NE corner may be of older origin. On the courtyard side, there are flights of stairs and arbours for access to the upper floors. The south facade has a rectangular bay window and at the southwest corner a round bay window with a Renaissance decor that extends over 2 floors. The representative front designed as the main facade shows restored remains of ornamental painting from the late 16th century. on. The building shows well the local architectural tradition of the early modern period.
