The coat of arms, awarded in 1982, symbolizes the place name with the walnut and refers to the location on the Attersee and the water sports practiced there with a sailing boat and wave ledge.

history

The first settlements were in the form of pile dwellings in the Neolithic Age .

In the Nussdorf district of “Gmauret” foundations of old masonry have come to light, which are believed to date from Roman times . The fact that the community area was repopulated soon after the Great Migration is testified by the early documented mention of the two villages of Zell and Reith (“per fines riute et celle in aterse”, 748) in a Mondsee codex from the 12th century. Reith is an early clearing name, Zell means a monk's cell outside the monastery community (in this case Mondsee ).

The first written mention of Nussdorf comes from the year 1190 and was "Nisdorf", but all later documents record the current sound form "Nussdorf". The name Nussdorf means that it is a village where nut trees grow. Towards the end of the Middle Ages , when the settlement area and the agriculturally usable area became scarce, clearing resulted in new villages in the mountainous hinterland (e.g. Wienerroith, documented in 1325 as "Winderreut").

For a long time, interest and robot payments had to be paid to the Traunkirchen nunnery (founded in 1020, abolished in 1573). In the 14th century, four farms had won little freedom. The parish of Nussdorf is likely to have become independent at the beginning of the 14th century. During the Counter Reformation there was a Jesuit preaching place here .

After the granting of religious freedom (tolerance patent 1781), thirty Protestant families built their own school in Zell am Attersee, which existed from 1789 to 1925. Most of the Protestant children in the Attersee and Attergau areas were educated in this “denominational school” .

A fire disaster in 1857 destroyed all houses in the center of Nussdorf. The parsonage and the valuable parish archives were also destroyed by flames.

In the second half of the 19th century the first summer guests came to Nussdorf, and in the period that followed, several villas were built on the lake. Mention should be made here of the Latzel Villa, which was given the classicist castle character during a later renovation.

Culture and sights

• Ransonnet mansion

Formerly a seminary home, currently a seminar hotel "Grafengut", which was built in 1873 by Eugen Freiherr von Ransonnet-Villez (1838–1926). The baron's daughter bequeathed the property to the Diocese of Linz. Ransonnet was a globally traveled naval officer in the Austro-Hungarian Army and worked as a painter and writer at the same time. For example, around 1860 he painted the coral world of the Indian Ocean in a diving bell . He had numerous trees and plants that he brought back from his world trips planted in the park of the villa. A giant enthuje has now reached a trunk circumference of eight meters. As the founder of the "Union Yacht Club Attersee" in 1886, Ransonnet made an important contribution to the development of the Attersee area for modern tourism.

• Parish Church of St. Mauritius

Originally there was a small late Gothic country church, which was expanded by a modern renovation in 1987/88. The Gothic choir arch and the presbytery (chancel) with the ribbed vault were preserved. The high altar in late baroque-classicist form dates from 1837; the altarpiece by a painter not known by name shows St. Mauritius in the clothes of a Roman soldier with his companions John and Paul and two Roman palace officials. The two (weather) saints John and Paul are also present as baroque statues (in Roman legionnaires' clothing and with the palm tree as martyr's mark) on the wall in front of the choir arch. Whether the choice of these saints could be traced back to early Christian traces from Roman times cannot be clarified at this point, but it is astonishing that there is so much “Roman” in the church.

The image of Mary on the left in the church became famous. The academic painter Emanuel Oberhauser used a portrait of Emma Adler (1858–1935), the wife of Victor Adler (founder of the Austrian Social Democratic Party) as a model for the face of the Madonna . The Adler couple spent the summer in Parschallen several times. The painter was able to counter the accusation that he had depicted a “Jewish” woman or a “Red” (socialist) by stating that Maria herself was, after all, also a Jewish woman. - In connection with the painting of the Virgin Mary, the formation of a legend is interesting, which says that the church was destroyed in a fire, only the picture remained intact.

Obviously, historical facts like the fire disaster in Nussdorf (1857) and the sensational image of the Virgin Mary are brought into a relationship. The one-manual organ with split registers and attached pedal, which was built by the Belgian organ builder Patrick Collon in 1998 after the church was rebuilt, is built like the old Spanish organs. On the south-facing wall of the cemetery there is an interesting burial chapel with inscribed skulls and painted relief images (Nativity, Flight into Egypt - 1868).
