Renovation Jägerhaus
Reichenau im Mühlkreis, Austria
Renovation of the Jägerhaus
The existing "Jägerhaus", located in the vicinity of the Reichenau castle ruins, is set to be renovated in order to serve local associations, host events at the castle ruins, and accommodate visitors.
Dr. Gerhard A. Stadler, Univ. Prof. i.R.
The "Hofbichlhäusl", colloquially known as the Jägerhaus due to five generations of court and district hunters residing there, is located southwest of the castle ruins, approximately halfway between the ruins and the former Hofmühle. The single-storey building, not featuring a basement, stands on a rectangular footprint of roughly 10 by 19 meters. It is topped by a hipped gable roof punctuated by two chimneys. Attached to the northeast-facing gable wall is a wooden shed built on a rectangular base of approximately 6 by 9 meters.
The vertical walls of the building were constructed using local fieldstones and granite rubble, with clay and sand serving primarily as binding agents. The façade is plastered and, on the northwest side, additionally protected by an Eternit cladding. As part of repair work following severe hail damage in June 2020 that affected both the roof covering and the timber structure, the masonry was raised using brick construction techniques.
Access to the building is via a front-facing entrance door with a rounded arch, framed by a stone surround. Lighting is provided by twelve asymmetrically arranged window openings of varying sizes—two on each gable end and four on each long side of the building. Additionally, two gable-end windows are present in the attic space, though those on the northeast side are almost entirely obscured by the shed extension.
Insights gathered during the site inspection suggest that the original structure—its oldest section found at the northeast corner—was expanded in several phases. The building reached its previously documented form, which has only undergone minor alterations since, in the early 19th century.
Although the Hofbichlhäusl has been verifiably inhabited since around 1645, its core structure likely dates back to the 16th century—or perhaps even to the late Middle Ages. Additional insights into the building's architectural history could emerge from uncovering structural elements during the course of renovation. A combination of architectural archaeology, archival research, and oral history is expected to confirm the considerable historical value of the building and may also provide clues about its original or earlier functions.
