Former toll house in Brühl

The Gasthaus Brühl , also Mauthaus Brühl , is a listed building ( list entry ) in the municipality of Matrei in East Tyrol (Seblas No. 25). It served as a toll station and inn for Iseltalstrasse (today Felbertauern Strasse ).

history

As early as the 1880s, the municipality of Matrei had renewed its part of the Iseltalstraße between Huben and the market itself, with the street at the same time being relocated from the Klausenwald on the left bank of the Tauernbach river to the right side of the Isel. Despite various attempts, the state of Tyrol subsequently neither took over the expansion of the rest of the Iseltalstrasse nor the maintenance of the road, but the road was elevated to a rival road in 1896 . This meant that the state of Tyrol and the communities in the Iseltal had to share the costs of road construction according to a certain formula.

A toll house was set up at Lienz and Matrei to collect the road toll, with the Brühl Inn taking over the function in the municipality of Matrei. The inn was built in the 19th century by a South Tyrolean wine merchant in the Seblas district, with the cellar serving as a wine store. The ground floor was used as a toll and inn when the Iseltalstraße was expanded.

Building

The toll house was built in quarry stone masonry and was largely unplastered, which gave the three-storey building with a tower-like core a fortress character. On the street side, the toll house has a porch that has a large arched opening with the staircase and several bay windows. The flat gable roof of the building was made with flat gables on three sides. The building also has an extension on the west side, while the ground-level extensions in the south and north have largely fallen into disrepair.
