Moserhof-Schlössl
The Moserhof-Schlössl , also known as Messe-Schlössl , is a small city palace on the corner of Münzgrabenstrasse and Moserhofgasse on the edge of the steeply sloping Murterrasse in the sixth district of Jakomini in Graz . During the Graz trade fair it is part of the amusement park.
history
The castle was named "Hof zu Harmsdorf" at the end of the 14th century and is located on the medieval traffic axis to the south, Münzgrabenstraße. In 1580 a renovation was carried out, which Ludwig Camillo Suardo had commissioned. From 1598 the noble residence was named "Spanhof" and was the center of a small rule of the Suardo family. LS Suardo asked the sovereign to rename the court "Müntzgraben", which he was allowed to do.
From 1609 the Moserhof-Schlössl was owned by the Graz merchant Matthias Moser, from whom it got its name. Thereafter, the barons of Jauerburg and von Gabelkhoven were the owners of the facility. Before 1848 the factory of the Graz electroplater Carl von Frankenstein was in the premises. After severe war damage in World War II , it was restored in 1959 and 1960. There used to be a cycling and trotting track right next to the small castle.
architecture
The Moserhof-Schlössl has a two-story building block and smooth facades in the architectural style of the late Renaissance . It has turret-like protrusions on the southeast corner and on the west wing. The arched stone portal contains the coats of arms of Franz Anton (right) and Johann Ignaz Freiherr von Jauerburg (left). Both date from 1733. Above is a small tower, pointed arch windows and the tent roof . Inside the Moserhof-Schlössl there are arcades and arbors, as well as a former chapel with a late Gothic vault on the upper floor of the south wing .
