Sitzendorf an der Schmida main square

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The main square in Sitzendorf an der Schmida is surrounded by buildings, some of which date from the time the square was built in the first half of the 13th century.

The main square / view from the north

In the 13th century , the originally highly free Kuenringers, resident in the neighboring Waldviertel , appeared as feudal lords . During the time of their rule, the construction of a moated castle and the layout of the rectangular main square of Sitzendorf as the new center south of the church. It is not known whether the Kuenringers themselves or their aristocratic followers, the Sitzendorfers , initiated the construction of the square.

The wide, schedule-based marketplace (now "Main Square") is about 60 meters wide and 170 meters long and traufständigen surrounding buildings in closed obstruction. It is accessed by four streets that open into the corners. The planned system resulted in a clear floor plan with almost uniform parcelling . The individual parcels are rectangular and border with one of the narrow sides on the square and with the other on the former back roads (today "Ziersdorfer Straße" and "Am Berg"), which run parallel to the longitudinal axis of the main square.

The Doppelhakenhöfe on the main square were arable bourgeois houses or were used for trading and commercial operations. The central or side corridor houses facing the square are consistently two-story and used to have a representative character. Behind it stretched the courtyard wing and a cross barn with an exit to the back road. Larger house complexes were created through mergers, especially from the 18th century. This disposition of the land with the back roads made it possible to locate the farm bourgeois houses and businesses in the center of the village, whereas otherwise they often stood on the edge of the village so that the farm wagons and carts would not hinder other traffic.

The construction in the area of ​​the main square has largely been the same as it is today. Especially since the beginning of the 19th century there have been hardly any changes, as a comparison of the current land register plan with the Franziszeischen land register from 1823 shows.

Two buildings on the main square are under monument protection , the art nouveau villa Wieninger and the former citizen hospital .

Description of the individual buildings

The house numbers start at the northwest corner of the main square and continue clockwise.

No. 1: New middle school, formerly the mansion

history

The north-western end of the main square is a mighty free-standing building that has been used as a school since 1876. Its history goes back to the 13th century, when a castle was built here, which was surrounded by a 25-meter-wide moat. This was in 1463 by Emperor Friedrich III. conquered and was owned by Hanns von Wulfestorff from 1492 until his death in 1504 . In 1745 the castle was demolished because it was in a state of disrepair and in 1765 work began on building a new castle, including parts of the former kennels that had been preserved , of which only the western third of the planned project was carried out.

The former castle

Up until 1876 the castle changed hands several times and before that time it was last owned by the Dietrichstein family . After the Reich Primary School Act came into force in 1869, which resulted in an increase in the number of pupils due to the extension of the compulsory education from six to eight years, the schoolhouse (now Hauptplatz 2) had become too small and the community bought the vacant castle for one to set up a spacious primary school. The adaptation was delayed so that the school could only be relocated in 1876.

In 1939, with the installation of the secondary school, another space problem arose, which could only be resolved in the years 1954 to 1957 with the three-storey extension in the east. This extension led to the demolition of the castle gate, which was located at the site of the extension. Since the primary and special school was moved to a newly built school building in 1972, the building has only housed the secondary school, which was renamed "New Middle School" in 2014.

The current building

The three-storey building rises above the sloping masonry of the basement made of rubble and sandstone blocks, the structure of which comes at least partially from the late Middle Ages. The western five-axis part of the building with the three window axes protruding to the south represents the structure of the castle from the second half of the 18th century. The extension from the middle of the 20th century extends to the east with nine window axes and a large rectangular portal in the east. On the windowless south facade of the extension building, a sundial is surrounded by a facade painting with rural motifs.

The facade is structured by cornices and corner blocks, which were created when the facade was redesigned in 1964. The buildings are closed by hipped roofs under which there is a circumferential eaves cornice with a tooth cut .

Parts of the basement and the ground floor with wall thicknesses of around 1.75 meters are closed off with angular stitch caps from the 17th century. Barrels with deeply cutting caps, which are likely to date from the second half of the 16th century, can be found in the south and west of the basement. A medieval passage with a barrel vault is partially blocked by one of these vaults.

No. 2: Residential building, formerly rectory, farm building, school and commercial building

history

This house was originally connected to the house at Hauptplatz 3 by a part of the building in between and together with it formed the former rectory.

Hauptplatz 2

In the second half of the 16th century, the building complex came into the possession of the Roggendorf family , who expanded it into farm buildings. After the construction of a new bulk box in 1788, which is located on the present-day warehouse area northeast of the local area, the farm buildings had lost their importance as such and the building was used as a schoolhouse from 1795. Around this time the part of the building between Hauptplatz 2 and 3 was demolished so that the church to the north of it had direct access from the Hauptplatz.

The building served as a school until 1876, when it came into the possession of a merchant who adapted it as a residential and commercial building.

The current building

The appearance of the two-storey building got its current appearance through various renovations that were carried out in the 20th century. Today's five-axis dwarf house has a saddle roof, the dwarf roof is designed as a protruding hipped roof , on the sides the parts of the wall protruding from the pitch of the saddle roof are covered on both sides by steep pent roofs protruding over the facade. There is a balcony with a wrought iron lattice under the eaves of the diaphragm .

On the ground floor, on the south side on the left side of the facade, there is a protruding glazed porch with a flat roof, which takes up around two thirds of the width of the building and served as a business premises.

On the west side of the building, medieval window openings have been preserved in the basement.

No. 3: Residential and commercial building, formerly partly farm building

history

The history of the house largely coincides with that of the house opposite, Hauptplatz 2 (see there).

Hauptplatz 3

The nine-axis main facade of the three-wing two-storey building complex faces west. The structure in the area of ​​the three left window axes is the oldest part of the building and was originally connected to the house on Hauptplatz 2 opposite through the part of the building that was demolished at the end of the 18th century. The Roggendorfer sold it to a merchant in 1790, who extended it to the south by a further six window axes.

The current building

The western front of the building is structured by a narrow three-axis central projectile and a slab style facade with a grooved ground floor from the end of the 18th century. The building has rectangular windows with narrow roofs on the upper floor in the area of ​​the risalit. A hipped roof starts over a protruding profiled eaves cornice. To the right and left of the rectangular central portal are shops. The southern shop has a box portal from around 1900.

To the east, on the south side, there are residential and farm buildings and on the north side the core building, which is actually adapted for residential purposes, is vaulted on the ground floor with a spear cap barrel from around 1575/1580. In the newer parts of the building there are flat ceilings.

Head sculptures are built into the outer courtyard wall.

No. 4: Residence, formerly the priory of the Baumburg monastery

history

This house is likely to be the oldest building in the Sitzendorf market. Between the year 1241 and the entry into force of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss in 1803, the Baumburg monastery held the right of patronage in Sitzendorf with interruptions during the Reformation . The house at Hauptplatz 4 was at that time the priory of the Baumburg monastery .

Hauptplatz 4

The current building

The five-axis two-storey building is marked by the restorations in the first decade of the 21st century. The façade is structured by a corner ashlar, square window framed by a square frame with sills and profiled window canopies from the 17th century on the upper floor as well as a rectangular portal in the central axis. Above this portal is a stone relief “Presentatio Christi” from 2003 by Oskar Höfinger . The building has a crooked roof with a boarded gable.

A statue of St. John Nepomuk from the middle of the 18th century is on loan from the community in a niche in the south adjoining gate wall .

In the north, a utility wing (courtyard wing) adjoins the main building at right angles. This barn and a rear barn were built in the second half of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, respectively.

A groin vault in the part of the ground floor north of the central corridor and a barrel vault in the rear part of the house are built from carefully crafted sandstone blocks, as is the rising masonry, which suggests that it was built in the 13th century.

The rooms on the ground floor to the south of the central corridor have flat baroque cut plaster ceilings, which were created around 1640 after they were returned to Baumburg Abbey in the course of re-Catholicization after the Reformation.

A staircase leads from the central corridor to the upper floor, which also has several cut plastered ceilings, some of which were later divided by brickwork. One of these ceilings is decorated with an "IHS" with a cross, a heart underneath and three nails. It is labeled "MS 1723".

No. 5: Residential building, formerly an annex to Hauptplatz 4, later a bakery

Hauptplatz 5

The hook-shaped parcel originally belonged to that of Hauptplatz 4. The same cadastral number and the connection between the two parcels can be seen in the Franziszeischen cadastre. Later, the building was likely to have formed a unit with Hauptplatz 6 and 7 because there are walled passages on the ground floor of these houses.

A mighty two-story building originally stood here. It is not known when and why it was replaced by the current building. Since the end of the 19th century there has been a bakery with a shop on the front of the main square and a bakery as well as other rooms, such as a bedroom for the journeyman , in the courtyard wing.

After the bakery was closed, the building was used as a residential building and was completely expanded and rebuilt at the beginning of the 21st century.

No. 6: House

Hauptplatz 6

The narrow, three-axis, two-storey building, known locally as the “Passhaus”, dates back to the 16th century and was likely to have formed a unit with Hauptplatz 5 (see there) and 7 earlier. The smooth facade with rectangular windows and segment arch portal on the right side of the building is simply structured. The portal and the windows have profiled stone frames, those on the upper floor also have grooved sills and roofs made of sandstone. At the top of the arch of the portal is a cartridge with the house number. A gable roof is attached over a grooved eaves cornice.

The hallway on the ground floor is closed by a stitch cap. The rooms on the left side of the hallway have beamed ceilings. On the right-hand side of the corridor, a staircase leads to the upper floor, which has baroque beam ceilings with simple notch-cut décor from the 18th century. There is a studio in the converted attic .

No. 7: House

Hauptplatz 7

The two-storey building with a drive-through portal on the left and a gable roof has its origins in the 16th century and formed a unit with Hauptplatz 5 (see there) and 6. The building was completely gutted, only the basic and surrounding walls have been preserved, but have been heavily modified in some areas.

The facade has been renewed and rendered plaster on the ground floor . The wide rectangular portal and two four-leaf windows structure the facade of the ground floor. Plaster tapes and plaster frames form the structure of the upper floor with the five narrow windows and a concluding fluted eaves cornice.

No. 8: House

The facade of the mighty five-axis building, which dates back to at least the 16th century, was renewed at the end of the 20th century. The appliqués on the facade are replicas .

Hauptplatz 8

Window frames and sills made of sandstone structure the facade, which is completed by a grooved eaves cornice and the saddle roof resting on it. On the wedge of the baroque wickerwork portal in the middle there is a house sign in a cartouche.

The passage and some rooms on the ground floor are vaulted with needle cap barrels from the first half of the 17th century. An older spear cap barrel, which presumably dates from the early 16th century, is located in a room bordering the passage to the south.

The upper floor of the main house, which can be reached via a staircase in the rear part of the house, is closed off by a groin vault from the 16th century and baroque plaster cut ceilings from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Two farm buildings adjoin the main building on the courtyard side. The southern one with its stone-clad windows, baroque beamed ceiling and storage floor may have been built in the first half of the 18th century. The northern single-storey wing is accessed by a light corridor and dates at least from the early 19th century.

No. 9: Residential house, formerly an arable house

history

Hauptplatz 9 / facade before the thermal insulation is installed

The structure of the hook-shaped building complex with a southern courtyard wing has largely been preserved as a medieval farm bourgeois house from the mid-16th century. Major renovations were made in the second half of the 17th century. At least until the first quarter of the 19th century, the courtyard wing extended far back to the barn on Hintausweg, as the Franziszeischer cadastre from 1823 shows. In 1983 the facade was completely renewed. It is not known when the rear part of the courtyard wing was removed and shortened to its present size. The thermal insulation carried out in 2013 with new laminated glass windows hardly changed the appearance of the facade.

The current building

The facade of the two-storey building is structured by grouped windows with grooved sills and straight roofs as well as a baroque eaves cornice. In contrast to the neighboring house 8, these parts of the building date from the second half of the 17th century. The lateral passage into the courtyard, which is closed off by a stitch cap, is accessed through a round arched portal (reconstruction in 1983, previously a typical angular gate entrance) with a spider and a wedge.

The vaults in the interior are from the 16th and 17th centuries or earlier.

No. 10: Art Nouveau villa

Up until 1910 there was a hook-shaped farm bourgeois house at this point, which was last used by a butcher's shop, which was closed around 1900.

In 1910 the old building was torn down and replaced by a new building, which was completed in 1912. The basement of the single-storey villa, built according to plans by a Lucerne architect, compensates for the sloping terrain. The facade is characterized by a risalit on the south side and a turret on the north corner.

Art Nouveau villa

The basement of the risalit has the two-winged rectangular portal of a garage that was built in in 1925. This is flanked by pilasters that reach down to the ground floor. Above the garage door there are two terracotta reliefs with diamond decor in between, which come from the Wiener Werkstätte . On the ground floor is a multi-winged loggia window with rounded corners that extends just over the entire width of the risalit. Above that, the facade is decorated with garlands and abstract flowers. The risalit is closed by a tail gable that covers a roof space with a double-winged window. The year “1912”, in which the new villa was completed, is affixed to the gable triangle.

The stairway to the arched portal in the middle of the main wing is flanked by two low, square columns in relief with roof-like beveled cover plates. On the left side of the portal there are two rectangular windows in the basement and two on the ground floor. On the right side is a rectangular cellar window and a wide, multi-winged arched window on the ground floor. A diamond decoration is attached under an eaves cornice in relief. The building wing is closed off by a hipped roof, the adjoining turret has a gable roof.

The last major restoration of the building took place in 1975.

According to the decision of the Federal Monuments Office, the building is under monument protection ( list entry ).

No. 11: Vicarage

The rectory

The old rectory from the first half of the 17th century stood roughly in the same place as it is today, but set back a little to the southeast and was covered with wooden shingles. In 1903 two houses on the southeast corner of the main square were bought and the construction of a new rectory began in their place, which was completed in 1907.

The massive looking two-storey building is erected over a high basement. The six-axis north front facing the main square is provided with a plastered facade, which is structured by pilaster strips and a corner cuboid. The windows have sills and there is a narrow, straight roof over the high rectangular portal.

The facade on the west side has two side windows on the south corner and is structured by banding .

The building is closed by a hipped roof over a circumferential grooved eaves cornice.

On the garden side are the remains of a demolished sacristan's house as well as the farm buildings and the stables. The access to the parish cellar is in the barn opposite .

In the south, the rectory is bordered by the low, ground-level parish hall.

No. 12: House

Hauptplatz 12

In today's elongated, single-storey two-family house with a raised basement, there was a synagogue until the end of the 17th century . In the 20th century the building was extensively modernized, which until 1969 had a simple facade and windows with profiled sills and straight roofs.

The facade of both parts of the building is structured by simple plaster frames of the rectangular portals and windows. The left part has three window axes with three-leaf windows. There is a small figure niche above the portal. The right part of the building has five window axes with double-leaf windows. The window to the left of the entrance portal was walled up, its location can only be recognized by the plaster frame that is still in place. A gable roof covers both parts of the building. On the right side of the building, a grooved eaves cornice runs below the roof extension.

No. 13: Gothic secular building, formerly Bürgerspital ( "House of the Reclining Man" )

This building is one of the few Gothic secular buildings that have survived in Austria.

history

The building was built in the first quarter of the 15th century and served as a hospital and orphanage from at least 1450, when it was first mentioned as such, until 1615.

former citizen hospital

At the beginning of the 17th century the secluded schoolhouse had become too small and the owner of the Gothic house, Katharina Freifrau von der Goltz, exchanged it for the old schoolhouse in 1615.

After Maria Theresa introduced compulsory teaching for six years in 1774, this school building had also become too small and in 1795 the school moved to the adapted house at Hauptplatz 2. From this point on, the house at Hauptplatz 13 served first as a town hall and then as a general store , stood empty for a few years until it was acquired and revitalized by new owners at the beginning of the 21st century.

Building description

As early as the 16th century, there were multiple structural changes to the three-axle, two-storey building, which is on a level that is lowered compared to today's street. In fact, this situation arose because, when there were no paved roads and canals, large quantities of alluvial material were deposited here during storms. As a result, the street level increased continuously and is now higher than at the beginning of the 15th century.

The dominant part of the building is a mighty single-axis bay window on a squat buttress from the construction period. The chapel was located in this bay window, which is closed by a groin vault, when the building was used as a hospital and orphanage. The support pillar has a stepped, bulged fighter with a head console and a vine leaf frieze in relief. The oriel basket is structured by ogival blind arcades with tracery noses. In the tracery noses there are rosettes and depictions of animals. The window dates from the beginning of the 16th century. It has a raised garment with a sill and a raised straight roof.

Relief of a reclining figure

To the left of the bay window there is a walled-up, profiled round arch portal from the beginning of the 16th century on the ground floor (today the basement). On the other side of the bay window, a rectangular portal from the end of the 16th century opens up a two-nave, two-bay, single-pillar room with groin vaults. This vault rests on a mighty squat central pillar and on pillars.

The upper floor (today the first floor) is accessed through a right-hand rectangular portal with a stone staircase in front. Between this portal and the bay window there are remains of Gothic window frames and remains of late Gothic three-pass blind arcades with a floral frieze. The windows on both sides of the bay with sill and straight roofing in relief are from the late 16th century.

On the left of the facade is a side buttress. Above it is the relief of a reclining figure, to which the house owes its name "House of the Reclining Man" in the population and which is likely to be related to the former use of the building as a hospital.

A coffin cornice with a rosette frieze runs over the entire front of the building . The house is closed by a gable roof. In the garden there are the remains of a poor house, the largest part of which was situated on the area of ​​the neighboring property.

According to the decision of the Federal Monuments Office, the building is under monument protection ( list entry ).

No. 14: House

Hauptplatz 14

The four-axis high building with a late historical plastered facade from 1914 rises on the southwest corner of the main square . Since the vaults of the house at Hauptplatz 13 continue in the basement of this building, it should have formed a unit with the neighboring house for at least a while. The previous building, a small house, came from the 16./17. Century and served as a town hall and judge's house from the end of the 17th to the end of the 18th century. The property has been privately owned since 1792 at the latest.

The facade above a high basement is structured on the ground floor by banding and on the upper floor by pilasters. The ground floor is separated from the upper floor by a protruding cordon cornice. All windows are provided with sills. A hipped roof with a dormer in the shape of a turret lies on a profiled protruding eaves cornice .

No. 15: House

Hauptplatz 15

The single-storey corner house with a sloping corner rises above a basement leveling the terrain. On the eastern front facing the main square it has two window axes with double-winged rectangular windows. The south front has five window axes with rectangular windows, of which the eastern four have a single-winged window and the western axis has a double-winged window. The access is formed by a rectangular portal on the south side east of the double-wing window.

The historicist facade from the last third of the 19th century was originally richly designed and was greatly reduced in the course of the latest modernizations. The smooth plastered facade is structured by two different facade colors and plaster frames of the windows and the portal. The flat, hipped roof starts over a profiled eaves cornice.

No. 16: Residential building, formerly an arable house

Hauptplatz 16

In the basement of the building there are remains of a Renaissance portal with a volute-shaped keystone, as was common in the last third of the 16th century. In essence, today's residential building comes from at least this time and the entire building complex still corresponds to the medieval conditions, both in terms of its layout and function: on the narrow side of the property facing the main square is the residential building, followed by the farm buildings on the courtyard side. The barn on the former Hintausweg, today's Ziersdorferstrasse, has been replaced by a hall used for agricultural vehicles.

The house in its present form was built in 1884 using the remains of the previous building. The four-axis, two-storey building has a historicist plastered facade with ashlar on the ground floor from the construction period. On the left there is a portal through which a flat roofed passage is accessed. A wide cornice separates the first and second floor façades. Above the cornice is a strip of plaster with abstract floral decoration. The portal and the windows have profiled plaster frames, the windows on the upper floor have a sill running across the entire width of the facade and are provided with flat roofs on volute brackets. There are garland decorations between the frames and the roofs. A hipped gable roof starts over the wide, profiled eaves cornice.

In the passage there are remains of ornamental and figural paintings in three layers. The oldest layer bears a figural grisaille painting from the second quarter of the 19th century, above it a painted ashlar, which is covered by a stencil painting , which probably dates from 1884.

No. 17: residential building, formerly a commercial building

Hauptplatz 17

In contrast to the buildings at Hauptplatz 14 to 16, this house, similar to Hauptplatz 13, dates from a time when the level of the southern Hauptplatz area had not yet increased to today's level due to material washed ashore after storms. The low basement and the low entrance portal suggest the original street level.

The core of the two-storey main building of the former courtyard goes back to the 17th century and received its current appearance with the strong gables in the middle area in the first half of the 20th century. Up until this point in time, the building had a smooth facade with stone-clad windows and a box-shaped shop portal from the late 19th century.

Inside the building, a large part of the historical building fabric, which dates back to the 17th century, has been preserved. The corridor to the side is closed off by groin vaults with angular lancet caps from the 17th century and plaster cut ceilings have been preserved in two rooms on the upper floor.

No. 18: residential and commercial building

Hauptplatz 18

There is no reliable information about this building. What is certain is that the previous building was completely demolished and replaced by the existing building. It cannot be determined whether parts of the original foundation were used in the new construction.

The smooth three-axis facade with a segmental arched drive-through portal on the left and a business portal on the right is simply structured by plaster-framed windows with sills. A gable roof connects over a profiled, protruding eaves cornice. There are living rooms on the upper floor. The operating rooms are located in the wing of the building.

No. 19: House

Hauptplatz 19

The two-storey building with a plastered facade from the beginning of the 20th century essentially goes back to the 16th century. Until the facade was redesigned, the building had framed windows with sills. The building has six window axes with a rectangular portal in the sixth right axis. The ground floor is partially below street level and has two windows. Plaster frames around the portal and the windows as well as plaster strips on the upper floor structure the facade. The gable roof with three hipped dormers rises above a grooved eaves cornice.

The interior of the building conceals parts of the preserved medieval structure. In a room on the ground floor there is a late Gothic / early modern cell vault with a floral Secco painting from the mid-16th century.

No. 20: Municipal Office

Hauptplatz 20 after the renovation in 2016

The current property was created in 1924 by merging two former parcels. In the years 1925 to 1928, the current building was erected on it after the previous buildings were demolished. The municipality bought the property in 1978 and the building has served as the municipal office ever since. Nothing has been handed down about the previous buildings.

The single-storey, broadly positioned building has twelve window axes and a mid-section in the form of a diaphragm , in which the rectangular portal is located, which forms the entrance. Plaster frame and simple plaster decor structure the simple facade. A hipped gable roof starts over a grooved eaves cornice.

In 2016, the building was completely renovated, taking into account the required accessibility, which changed the appearance of the access area.

No. 21: Residential and commercial building

Hauptplatz 21

The two-storey building was erected in 1931 in place of a previous building from the early 19th century on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the town's Raiffeisenkasse, which was founded in 1880 . Two memorial plaques inside give information about this.

The building, which was renovated in 1996, has sloping corners and a shallow, gabled central projectile, has a plastered facade with plastered fields and framed windows. A hipped roof is attached to a grooved eaves cornice.

Marian column

The appendix deals with other structures that are located on the main square and two buildings that are located away from the main square but are directly or indirectly connected to buildings on the main square.

Marian column

According to the inscription on the base, the column with a statue of Maria Immaculata was erected in 1867 by the then mayor, Franz Neumeyer. Another inscription tells of a renovation in 1877 by Michael Wimmer. The last renovation took place in 1989.

War memorial

Hauptplatz Sitzendorf war memorial

At the place where the war memorial is located, a spring rises next to which there was a statue of John Nepomuk . The course of the sprung water and the location of the statue can still be seen in the Franziszeischen Cadastre from 1823.

In 1919 the decision was made to erect a war memorial on this site. This decision was implemented in 1922 after the statue of Johannes Nepomuk was moved to the western outskirts.

The curved display wall, divided by pillars, is crowned by a group of “Wounded Comrades” . After the end of the Second World War , the monument was adapted. Between the names of those who fell in the two world wars, there are reliefs with scenes from the beginning and end of the war ( “Farewell” and “Remembrance of the Dead” ).

Building away from the main square

Mansion cellar

Portal of the stately press house

The stately press house was built in the last quarter of the 16th century to the east of the buildings at Hauptplatz 2 and 3, which were still connected at the time, by the Roggendorfers. In the middle of the seven-axis unadorned street front is a drive-through portal with arched stone walls and volute-shaped keystone from the construction period. The coffered stones of the robe are decorated with Luther roses, an indication of the client's faith. The two-storey rectangular building is covered by a hipped roof. The building is privately owned and the upper floor has also been used for residential purposes since the beginning of the 21st century.

According to the decision of the Federal Monuments Office, the building is under monument protection ( list entry ).

To the east is the wine cellar, which was built at the same time and is now shared between two owners. The extensive cellar complex is rounded off by wide-spanned barrels with incisive, pointed caps and groin vaults in the area of ​​a three-bay, two-aisled hall. The vaults are made of bricks.

Residential building, formerly a Protestant rectory

The seven-axis Zwerchhofanlage stands at the beginning of the Patergraben to the east of the Catholic rectory. On the facade of the street front is an inscription plaque transferred from the courtyard of the house in 1986 with the builder's coat of arms from 1562 and a coat of arms relief from the last third of the 16th century.

Former Protestant rectory

The history of this house is closely linked to the parish history of the place. In 1553 Haimeran Hueber (also Haimram Huber) from Baumburg was installed as pastor in Sitzendorf, but he converted to Protestantism in 1562 , married and built this house with money from the church.

On the east side of the building there is a flat bay window from the construction period resting on stepped consoles. Lance cap barrels with deeply cutting pointed caps form the end of the cellar under the street-side residential wing. A wooden beam ceiling with floral motifs from the construction period has been preserved on the upper floor of this wing.

There are utility wings behind the house. Under one of these outbuildings there is a wine cellar, which is closed off by a slightly ogival barrel. The end of the courtyard is formed by a barn from around 1900 and a hall built in 1979.
