The Villa Aichelburg is a Biedermeier villa in Baden near Vienna . It was built at the beginning of the 19th century and is attributed to Joseph Kornhäusel . It is a listed building .
history
The villa was built by Lieutenant Colonel Josef Leopold Freiherrn von Aichelburg (1753–1781), who came from the Zossenegg line , and when it was completed in 1811 it was named Reginens Ruhe for the sake of his wife, Regina Freiin Wetzlar von Plankenstern (1757–1813) . Around 1900 the Counts Bylandt-Rheidt inherited the facilities. Since they were the last private owners, the name Villa Bylandt-Rheidt has been preserved to this day.
Around 1900, when the villa was (still) known as St.-Genois-Schlössl, it was rented for some time by Friedrich Eckstein and his wife Bertha Diener , who ran a salon in it, where u. a. Peter Altenberg , Arthur Schnitzler , Karl Kraus and Adolf Loos frequented. Schnitzler used the Ecksteinvilla and his son Percy Eckstein, born in Baden in 1899, as models for his drama Das weite Land . In January 1900 , Crown Princess Stephanie of Belgium visited the Genois villa , which parts of the press interpreted as an interest in buying.
When the thermal beach was opened in 1926, the villa became a restaurant. At the beginning of the 1977 season, the converted lido restaurant was put into operation. From 1976 to 1999, the wing on Helenenstrasse housed a eatery. Since about 2007 the house has been advertised as Villa Nova in terms of gastronomy , and since 2014 as ReWiLo .
architecture
The two-storey building, originally seven-axis, has been eleven-axis since the purchase (which included the park) in 1851 by the Counts of St. Genois and the associated expansion of the two side wings. The house rests on the clearly lower ground floor. In the three-axis central projection, which is closed off by a triangular gable, there is a wide balcony on two pillars. The two flanks, each divided into two sections, are each four-axis; the windows of the two-axis side projections, added after 1851, are just crowned; all other window and door openings on the upper floor are closed off in the form of segment arches. A frieze of bucrania runs under the eaves .
On the pillars to the entrance to the farm buildings garden there are two, summer and winter Performing Putten from around 1770. Also from this period come the statues of Apollo and Flora , symbols of art and nature, the large park in the outbuildings garden have been transferred . The huge cast iron vase, one of the rare monuments from the “cast iron era” of the 19th century, dates from the years after 1851 . The decoration of the staircase with wall and ceiling paintings by August César (1837–1907) is thanks to the Count St. Genois (coat of arms in the main axis triangular gable of the facade).
