history
The courtyard with its water features was expanded around 1625 as a pleasure palace by the builder Andrä Pernegger for the canon Wilhelm Freiherr von Welsberg and Primör (1585–1641) and called the Welsbergerhof. When the canon was appointed bishop of Brixen a little later, he sold the two-storey pleasure palace, which lacked toilet facilities and chimneys, to the St. Peter monastery in 1635 ; between 1636 and 1642, the property, now known as Petersbrunn , was expanded in splendid baroque forms. Abbot Albert bought the carnival estate (now Verwalterstöckl). Petersbrunn may have been expanded by Santino Solari into a 15-axis complex with a grotto courtyard, an ornamental garden and a wooden hermitage .
Here were once widely praised water features that were not much inferior to those of Hellbrunn . Supposedly, these water features go back to around 1500 in a simpler form. The trick fountains in the spacious park of Petersbrunn were located directly on the Hellbrunnerbach, which rises from the star source in the Hellbrunn palace garden. However, the castle and water features fell into disrepair over the decades. In 1788 (after a severe flood in 1786) the old castle was largely demolished under Abbot Dominikus Hagenauer. In 1794, next to a preserved outbuilding of the castle, which is also called Faschinghaus after a previous owner, a farm building in the style of Salzburg's early classicism, then commonly known as the Meierhof , was built instead of the old castle by Wolfgang Hagenauer . The building inscription above the portal of the farm building from 1794 has been preserved.
In 1869 this farm building was extended by a hook-shaped wing and used as a cowshed, in 1902 a pigsty was added. In 1968 the manor building burned down, but was restored. In addition to the outer walls, only the square vault remains of the original building , which is supported by seven marble columns arranged in three rows. In 1984 the State of Salzburg bought the old Meierhof and the carnival house from St. Peter's Abbey, after the farm building had already been regularly used for artistic purposes.
Petersbrunnhof today
Today the courtyard and dairy serve as a diverse cultural center, which also offers a theater to the Salzburg theater (the former Elisabeth stage ). The Orchesterhaus, the home of the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, is closest .
