Trenninghof
The Trenninghof is a residence in the Wachau UNESCO World Heritage Site . It is located at the northern foot of the Trenning in the Spitzer Graben in the municipality of Mühldorf .
history
The first mention of an "ager in Trenich" occurs in 1302 in the Urbar A of the Göttweig monastery . Contrary to the description published in various secondary sources, it has not yet been proven whether this implies the first written mention of the Trenninghof. Another mention takes place in 1361 as "ager am Trenichk" also in the land register of the Göttweig monastery .
The first name Trenninghof as "Hof an dem Trening" can be found in 1427 as a property of Hanns Neydegker (Hans von Neidegger). To date, this fact has also not been taken into account in any of the secondary sources. The Trenninghof was owned by the Neideggers in the 15th and probably 16th centuries, who also owned Oberranna Castle .
In 1571 the mansion came into the possession of Christoph Greiß zu Wald und Pielach, who gave the building its present form. The Trenninghof changed hands frequently over the next 300 years. Ernst Vergani , who founded the first Raiffeisenkasse in Austria in 1886, should be mentioned as the owner from 1882 to 1897 .
From 1957 to 2012 the Trenninghof was owned by the Reifmüller family (later Blauensteiner), the last owner of the Mühldorf graphite mine. In 2012 the Weißmann family acquired the residence and carried out extensive dismantling, renovation and revitalization work.
The Trenninghof has been owned by Anh Tuan Ho, who runs the property as a boutique hotel, since 2018.
description
The present appearance goes back to renovations during the Renaissance in the 2nd half of the 16th century, during which the medieval courtyard (with Gothic vaults) was extended by two further wings. The tract on the valley side is characterized by a high tower with a wedge roof. In the 19th century additions were made in the style of historicism (e.g. east-facing portal and balcony). Worth mentioning are the historic wooden beam ceiling and the cloister floor in the main room, the Gothic and Renaissance vaults, the historic doors with old locks and hinges and the sandstone walls of the courtyard window. A stone figure of Saint Nepomuk from the Biedermeier period can be found on the grounds of the property .
restoration
In the years 2012/2013 extensive restoration work was carried out inside and outside. Outside, the focus was on a new roof covering with Eternit shingles in order to free the historic roof structure, which is at least 300 years old, from the weight of the tile covering. On the other hand, the plaster on the courtyard and garden facade was restored with pure lime. The majority of the removed chimneys were rebuilt from the attic via the roof. A concrete extension from the 1960s was demolished in order to restore the original courtyard appearance from the 16th century. All windows, doors and passages that had been walled up over the centuries were exposed and opened again. Inside, the historic wooden floors and doors were renovated or reconstructed. On the courtyard and garden side, the plastic windows were removed and wooden box windows were installed. The historic vaults and wooden ceilings have been restored. The Trenninghof has been a listed building since 2014 . In 2015 the Trenninghof received the Golden Trowel 2014 , the highest award for exemplary building design in Lower Austria.
