New rectory (Eggenburg)
The new parsonage of the parish Eggenburg in the town of Eggenburg in Lower Austria was the inscription in 1534 by Georg Rauber of Plankenstein as a three-storey Renaissance building built with a high curved pediment.
In the 18th century, the building became the property of the municipality. It has been used as a vicarage since 1792. It is a listed building.
The facade shows irregularly divided window openings with stone walls with twisted bases, grooved sills and straight, barbed roofs from the 2nd quarter of the 16th century. The gable windows are profiled. On the upper floor is a round niche with a cartouche frame with the figure of the Good Shepherd from the 18th century. The arched portal with a coffered wooden gate has flanking candelabra pilasters with a portrait head above it. The portal wall has profiled fields and rosettes. Above is an entablature with a leaf frieze with dolphins.
Inside the building there are rooms with groin and barrel vaults. The late Gothic spiral staircase is located in a semicircular stepping stairwell with rhombic windows. On the upper floor is a hall with barrel vaults with net ridges and a portal with the coat of arms of the robbers, marked 1534. Some of the original brick floors have been preserved.
In the 16th to 17th centuries, a courtyard wing was built over a high basement with a chamfered round arch portal and stone-walled windows.
Another two-story storage building with a barrel vaulted cellar and a chamfered round arch portal has groin vaulted rooms.
