history
The builder of the palace was the Viennese financier Rothenstein in 1896. Oskar Blumenthal lived in the castle in the summer months and wrote the operetta Im Weißen Rössl here . Max Reinhard was a frequent guest here in the 30s of the last century, as was Hugo von Hofmannsthal , Jakob Wassermann and Clemens von Franckenstein .
In 1917 the castle came into the possession of Baron Edgar von Spiegel († 1932) and his wife Lucy, née Goldschmidt- Rothschild . Baron von Spiegel set up a folklore museum in the house . This was donated to the Linz Castle Museum in 1967.
In 1957, Baron Spiegel's widow sold the castle to a family community. In 1961 the headquarters of the PKS Academy (= Pythagoras-Kepler System) for biotechnology was set up here under the direction of Walter Schauberger († 1994).
