Heiligenkreuzerhof

The Heiligenkreuzerhof (also: Leopoldshof ) is a former estate of the Heiligenkreuz Abbey at Brusattiplatz 2 in Baden in the district of the same name in Lower Austria .

history

The Heiligenkreuz monastery built the Heiligenkreuzerhof in the middle of the 12th century to manage the monastery property in Baden and in the 14th century turned it into a kind of castle in the foreground of the city by walling it. The heart of the courtyard was the Magdalenenkapelle, which was given its present shape in the 14th century and is the oldest part (renewed in 1687). In 1883 the city of Baden acquired the Leopoldshof and the Leopoldsbad , and one year later opened the Green Market - and housed the market office (next to some apartments) in the Heiligenkreuzerhof. In 1994/95, the Baden residents renovated part of the Heiligenkreuzerhof with the Magdalenenkapelle (which was abandoned in 1875 and used as a workshop) and opened a vinotheque for the local winegrowing association.
