The Ansitz Lößler (also Lössler) is a residential building at Mildenbergstrasse 11 in Bregenz . The building is a listed building .
history
In 1390, in a castle peace treaty between Count Hugo von Montfort and Count Wilhelm VII of Montfort († 1422), a fiefdom Losel of the Counts of Montfort is named. The Bregenz land clerk Michael Witweiler bought the property around 1590 and had the residence rebuilt between 1596 and 1613 .
Since the middle of the 17th century it has been in bourgeois ownership and is used for residential purposes. In 1893/94 it received its neoclassical facade.
architecture
A round arched gate in the only partially preserved surrounding wall leads to a small baroque garden with a fountain at the seat. The three-storey rectangular Renaissance building stands on a raised basement and has a gable roof. Since the renovation in the 1890s, the facade has had regular window axes and rusticated corner bands. On the west side, a flight of stairs leads to the arched entrance portal with rusticated ashlar and a palmette beam above . On the northern gable front, a walled-in arched opening with a sandstone frame reveals an original basement access. Above is the alliance coat of arms of Michael Witweiler and his wife Anna Margreth Schumaier and an inscription about the start of construction in 1596. Further references to the builder Michael Witweiler are a tram tree supporting the ceiling in the basement , which is marked MW 1605, and on the first floor a cast iron cubic fire box from 1605. The richly ornamented front panel is adorned with the coats of arms of Witweiler and his two wives. The living rooms still have some field ceilings with simply profiled strips.
