The Weißenberg residence , also known as the “Batschunser Schlössle” (Schlösschen), is located in the Batschuns district of the municipality of Zwischenwasser (Vorarlberg). The property is under monument protection ( list entry ).
history
The residence was built before 1601 by the Feldkirch patrician family Prock von Weißenberg. The Procks, who came from Ravensburg, provided several city councilors from Feldkirch. In 1601 Emperor Rudolf II confirmed their coat of arms and gave them permission to call themselves "von Weißenberg". Before 1663 the building passed to the Feldkirch bourgeois family Mahler, who also called themselves "von Weißenberg". Johann Heinrich Mahler was bailiff of the Feldkirch estate between 1663 and 1678. In 1740 Colonel Salomon Sprecher von Bernegg acquired the residence from Mahler's heirs. In the later 18th century it was owned by the Barons of Salis from Graubünden. Since 1802 the Schlössle has been in civil and rural ownership. In the 20th century it was also used as a rest home. In 1971 it was restored outside and in 1975/76 inside. Today it is used for private living.
architecture
The seat consists of the block-like three-storey residential wing with a gable roof. On the north side there is the staircase under a gracefully stepped gable. The square windows, which were once divided into two, now have central posts and wooden shutters. An unadorned arched portal on the south side leads to a cross-vaulted central corridor with a wooden spiral staircase at the end. On the ground floor there are barrel-vaulted cellars with stitch caps on both sides of the corridor. An old kitchen with an open stove has been preserved on the first floor. The living rooms on the second floor have simple stucco ceilings and paneling. The south-western corner room is completely paneled and has an inlaid coffered ceiling and two entrance doors framed by pilasters with old fittings and door locks from the beginning of the 17th century.
The house and the farm building are partially connected by a wall.
