The Grillmayr Schlößl is a former factory owner's villa in the Kleinmünchen district of Linz . Together with the neighboring workers' house and the factory halls of the spinning mill (today Linz Textil ) it formed an ensemble. The Grillmayer Schlößl is a listed building.

history

On April 7, 1845, Johann and Katharina Grillmayer acquired the Steinbruckmühle from Anton and Anna Brukmüllner, documented until June 26, 1419 as "Mühle an der Steinbruck" / owner Peter der Goldner, then owner Friedrich von Hagenau at the junction of Dauphinestrasse from today's Wienerstraße (previously kk Ärarial-Poststraße) was located. The acquisition of the mill ensemble cost the couple 13,000 guilders, and with the purchase they not only secured the building but also the water rights. The Grillmayr family also needed this water right on the Weidingerbach for the planned construction of their spinning mill. In the middle of the 19th century, the mills were razed and Grillmayr had a mansion with a farmyard built in their place by 1852. The manor house subsequently served the Grillmayr and Hörzinger family as a summer residence. The workers' house belonging to the ensemble was destroyed by fire in 1999.

Building

The Grillmayr Schlößl was probably built using older building fabric. The building is a two-storey complex, grouped around a U-shaped courtyard, with early historical structure and terracotta decor. The main front of the complex, which faces north, has a thirteen-axis, additive structure. In the center there is a round arch portal with a pilaster frame and a console cornice, which is flanked by two single-axis risalits. The risalites each accommodate a round arch portal and were also accentuated on the upper floor by double-axis windows with shared roofing, which, like all window roofing, were straight.

The east facade of the Grillmayr Schlössl was designed as a representative garden front. It has a gabled, three-axis central projection with three-part arched arcades and a balcony in front of it on four Doric stone columns. The flanking double axes are connected by common profiled frames. In front of the east facade there was originally an ornamental garden that was planted with exotic plants. The west facade of the building is irregularly spaced, with the northern area of ​​the facade being designed analogously to the main facade. At the corner to the main facade there is a two-axis balcony on brick pillars, while the southern section has a sparse structure of pilaster strips and a bezel framing with wedge-shaped decoration. There is also a balcony in the courtyard.
