Golden Cross Inn (Baden)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Golden Cross Inn

The inn at the golden cross in the city of Baden in Lower Austria dates from the 16th century.

In the 18th century, the property was owned by Anton Greiner, who had the house decorated in a representative way before he became the town's master brewer in 1758. Around 1740 the stucco ceilings of the three rooms on the first floor received graceful representations of the Annunciation, the birth of Christ and the crucifixion of Christ (on a vine). The motifs are elegantly framed with tendrils and bands , palmettes and fans. The crucifixion scene is dated Antoni Greiner 1745 . Greiner dispensed with a window in the facade and placed a large niche in its place, framed by a rich late Baroque stucco frame, in which a somewhat colorful but expressive Pietà was set up.
In 1805 the house was home to a Schober wine shop, which Greiner's son-in-law Felix Ulbricht, owner of a factory and several houses in Vienna, continued to run from 1818. When Josef Kerschbaum became the owner of the house in 1847, he set up an inn here. This was first called Zum Goldenen Kreuz in 1872 and existed until the 1970s.

The five-axis baroque house, which essentially dates from the 16th century, is characterized by a reduced ground floor, a low-lying cordon cornice, simple window frames and straight, elaborately profiled window crowns. The segment-arched driveway, irregular window axes and the building with baroque window frames on the upper floor can also be assigned to the 16th century.
