history

Farchant rectory

The three siblings Joseph, Mathias and Katharina Gastl, who remained unmarried, had made considerable fortunes as partners in a long-distance trading company with headquarters in Warsaw . In 1748 they built a stately home on the Gern in Farchant as a retirement home. After her death, the house was to serve as a residence for the respective local clergy, although Farchant was not yet a separate parish at that time. In 1775 the guest Katharina was the last to die. However, it took almost two decades before Heinrich Schandl (1739–1807) from Mittenwald came to Farchant as the first school underprivileged in 1792 and moved into the Gastl property.

In 1914 the school beneficiary was converted into a curate beneficiary, and a later parish elevation was just a matter of time. This then happened on March 1, 1945 through Michael Cardinal von Faulhaber . Since then, the building has served as a rectory.

The sundial at the rectory

The sundial was painted over the entrance to the rectory around 1800. It shows death as a skeleton with a scythe and in the background, according to tradition, the lower village is shown with the house where Gastl was born. During a restoration , a mistake crept in on a roof on the left side.
