Lehár villa
The Lehár villa in Bad Ischl at Lehár-Kai 8 in the Salzkammergut was a property of Franz Lehár . He bought it from the Duchess of Sabran in 1912 and has spent almost every summer in this house since then. Today it is used as a museum at Lehár's will.
In the villa there is valuable furniture from several eras, some of which Lehár was given as a gift, numerous paintings, clocks, sculptures and other art objects.
The neighboring house at Lehár-Kai 10, where Franz Lehár's wife Sophie lived, now houses the “Alt-Ischl” museum , known as the Heimatmuseum with other rarities and valuables. Sophie transferred her residence to her husband Franz in 1940 by means of a donation agreement.
Lehár's work in the villa
He liked to spend the summer composing in this villa. He said: “ In Ischl I always have the best ideas ”. This can also be seen from the ten laurel wreaths that are hung in one of the rooms. He received this when one of his operettas was particularly successful. Most of his operettas were written in the villa's large study .
