Kölnhof Palace
Kölnhof Palace in St. Veit an der Glan was first mentioned in a document in 1378 as "Cholendorff". Since 1594 the castle was owned by St. Veiter trade and civil families. In 1778 Johann Georg Hagenauer probably carried out conversions and extensions on behalf of Prelate Mayerhofer, the last abbot of Stift Griffen . From 1891 to 1953 the property belonged to the provincial administrator Arthur Lemisch , then Hubert Knaus.
Building description
The garden gates with classical vases on the pillars have wrought iron grilles from the 18th and 19th centuries. The early classical facade with a banded ground floor has upstairs simple Lisenengliederung and economical Zopfornamentik on. The protruding corner towers with flat domes and lanterns come from the renovation in 1884. During this time, the original gables were replaced by dormers . Forged window baskets from the 16th century have been preserved on the north side. The basket arch portal with a blown gable is framed by double pilasters . In the hall there is a memorial plaque for Maria Joseph von Mayerhoffen and his wife Maria Aloisia Countess von Galler from 1778. On the ground floor there is a vaulted vault from the 15th century. A Rosalienkapelle is housed in the southeast corner tower . The interior of the castle was largely destroyed in 1945 by the effects of the war.
