The Robinighof is a baroque palace built in 1648 in the Schallmoos district of Salzburg (Robinigstrasse 35).

history

The Robinighof was first named Lodron by Archbishop Paris Lodron in 1648, shortly after the first major drainage measures in the Schallmoos , and in that year - like other courts of the Schallmoos - it came into the ownership of the Salzburg Cathedral Chapter. At that time it was still called Kochhof . In 1657 he was sold again to Bartlme Reiter for inheritance rights. In 1744 this farm was acquired by Georg Josef Robinig von Rottenfeld and converted into a rococo palace in 1750 according to plans by Franz Anton Danreiter . The farm is located on the eastern main drainage ditch of the Schallmoos, which is known today as the Lämmererbach. Danreiter was also a court gardener and had contributed to the construction of the Mirabell Gardens , so it was obvious to create a park here too. The iron merchant Robinig had classicist frescoes installed inside the house around 1785–1790.

In the house also was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart , who was friends with the children of Robinig (Sigismund and Luise) family, often to visit. Sigmund Robinig (born September 5, 1787 Salzburg, † March 10, 1843 Salzburg) married the landlord's daughter Anna Maria Freudens- or Freudlsperger in 1818. Sigmund's widow (both only sons had died in the year of his birth) lived until 1851 and bequeathed the remaining fortune to a certain Karl Buxbaum. In 1885 Hermine Fahrner bought the property from his widow.

Robinighof today

The castle still has a magnificent rococo facade today. The side view shows a much simpler structure. The relief medallion above the entrance portal shows Saint Joseph and above it the coat of arms of the Robinig-Aniser. The property was fully restored in 2007. In front of the house there is also a late Classicist urn well worth mentioning with the inscription "Built by Maria v. Rubinich". The fountain has a simple design with a base and an urn placed on it, whereby it was pointed out that "the urn (shows) an aesthetic that corresponded to the former iron trade of the Lords of Robinig".

The old manorial road from the Linz main road to the castle and on to Lengfelden has been planted with trees on the Lämmererbach side since at least the early 19th century. A small remnant of this former row of trees forms what is now a protected part of the landscape. The protected part of the landscape of trees near Robinighof is 0.2 hectares and was placed under protection in 1991.
