Congress & Theater Bad Ischl
The Kongress & Theaterhaus (formerly Kurhaus ) in Bad Ischl , Upper Austria , was built between 1873 and 1875 by the architect Hyazinth Michel (1846–1904).
Due to the imperial summer residence in Bad Ischl and the numerous guests from science, culture and the imperial family, a Kurhaus was necessary to hold concerts and balls for their entertainment. The market town bought the so-called "Chanterelle Field" in 1872 and built the Kurhaus there .
In 1965 a devastating fire largely destroyed the building, only the theater hall was spared from the flames. After a decision by the city, the house was rebuilt almost identically and thus retained its style and flair of the imperial era.
In 1997 the walls were completely restored and renamed "Kongress & Theaterhaus".
Today, balls, cultural events and various performances of the famous Lehár Festival Bad Ischl take place in the Kongress- & Theaterhaus .
