The Waidburg residence is located in the municipality of Natters in the Innsbruck-Land district of Tyrol (Innsbrucker Strasse 4).

History of the residence

The building was built in 1518 by the Wendelin brothers (Mayor of Innsbruck) and Ambras Yphofer. By I. Emperor Maximilian took place in the same year, confirming the tax-free status for the newly erpauten sitting as Ansitz and the associated ennoblement of the client. The Tyrolean sovereigns also had a place to stay for their hunts here (the name Waidburg indicates this), but this was possibly a building that was opposite the Waidburg. Waidburg was also known for spa treatments "against rheumatism and restrained menstrual bleeding". This is why Duke Sigismund der Münzreich founded five weekly masses for Natters and the surrounding towns in 1466. Wendelin's sons, Martin and Christof Yphofer, sold the Waidburg to Wolfgang Herschl before 1542. In 1547 Christof Philipp Frankfurter was the owner. Around 1600 the residence became the property of Melchior von Deutenhofen. Thomas von Deutenhofen donated the altar in the castle chapel in 1602. In 1627 the Upper Austrian Chamber Councilor Hans Ernst von Stachelburg zu Kautzenheim owned the residence. In the first quarter of the 18th century it belonged to the university professor Dr. Theodor Friedrich Sattlender; he also owned the Melans residence in Absam and so the Waidburg was mostly leased. In 1751 Josef Ignaz von Payr, pastor of Telfs , became the owner of the residence. He was followed by his nephew Franz Friedrich von Payr until 1800. In the second half of the 20th century the castle then served as a youth rest home.

Waidburg residence today

The seat is a three-storey cubic building with a half-hip roof . A round arch portal forms the entrance. The portal's earlier decoration, a Tyrolean eagle and a ducal hat, was replaced during the last renovation by a modern red marble coat of arms of the community. The front side facing Dorfstraße has a five-axis facade, the side fronts are only three-axis. Brown and black shutters are installed on the two upper floors.

Inside there is a late Gothic chapel, which is equipped with a reticulated vault and tendril motifs, which were only discovered in 1974. This is currently only used as a storage room.

Today the residence is owned by the Natters community. It houses the community and post office as well as a kindergarten.
