history
Originally the property was a sovereign fiefdom, which was awarded in 1395 by Duke Albrecht IV under the name "Rothhof zu Persenbeug" . The floor plan of the three-story main building was then hook-shaped. A two-story farm building with a small bell tower also belonged to the property .
Emperor Maximilian I is said to have frequented the farm to refresh himself there during hunting breaks. He is even said to have had the spring set in marble. After 1672 the Rottenhof was significantly reduced in size. Today the main building is L-shaped.
After a series of feudal lords, Mang Irnfried obtained fiefdom and service exemption from King Ferdinand I in 1533 , who in the same year bought the Altenmarkt estate and made the Rottenhof its administrative center. About a hundred years later, the Hoyos acquired the house and estate, which was subsequently owned by Herberstein, Offenbach and Preising, but was repurchased by the Hoyos in 1720. From 1790 to 1992 the Rottenhof was in the hands of the Habsburg-Lothringen family .
In 1455 King Ladislaus sold the Rothenhof near Persenbeug to Jörg Frey. In 1533 Mang (Mangold) Irnfrid was the owner (according to the original purchase letter “because of Altenmarkt and Pisching by Ulrich v. Lapitz zu Reiben and Weittenegkh Baider, rights doctor to Manngen. Irnfried van Ratenhof” , and as such he appears in the archives of the Melk market in 1550 ). The letter is followed by Mang's own signature along with a seal and a rose in the middle of three peaks. The addition “vom Rotnhof” is also noted on his tombstone for Gottsdorf . Like his son Andre Irnfrid, who lived in Rothenhof in 1580, Mangold was a Protestant.
Today Rottenhof is privately held and is used as agricultural performed organic farm. Among other things, the rare Ouessant sheep are bred there. Apartments can also be rented.
