The Mantlerhof in a few words

The plains of the Danube and Kamp rivers are limited to the north by a Löss ridge of hills . Through centuries of wineproduction these hills were shapped into terraces. There are also vineyards at the fringes of the plain at the foot of the terraces and at the higplateau above them.

Originally the Mantlerhof was a monasterial farmbuilding adherent to the styrian monastery of Admont. It wasn’t worked by monks but by regular farmers. In 1571 the monastery sold their possesions in the surroundings of Krems to Baron Bernhard Thurso for 453 fl.

After frequent changes in ownership over the next 300 years Johann Georg Mantler decided together with his wife Maria to buy it in 1815. He than worked the now newly named Mantlerhof as a traditional farm, including meadows, fields, rabbits, chicken, ducks, pigs, cattle and wine.

A strong emphasis was made when Josef Mantler decided to plant a vineyard on the highplateau in the than controversial “Lenz-Moser Hochkultur”-System just a few months after taking over the winery. This promptly sparked a fight with his mother: the high plateau was traditionally used a communal pasture and had a reputation as a bad sight for vines. The next decades till the 1970s were used to modernize all the vineyards into the new Lenz Moser-System and the construction of new terraces to allow for the use of new technologies. Most of the vineyards are situated on the terraces (~80%) the rest in the plain or on the high plateau.

How the Mantlers found their way into the Mantlerhof

The Mantlerhof is one of the oldest buildings in our local congregation. His foundations date back over 800 years. Before that a medival seat of the knights of Kuenring stood in it’s place. Originally constructed as a monasterial farm it kept the purpose as farm building throughout the ages. The last phase of construction took place during the Rokoko period which is still very visible on the fassade.

In the cadastral register of Castle Grafenegg it is written “about a dwelling”. Transcription:
“… Mantler Johann Georg et Maria uxor Brunn 1815 durch Kauf pr 10000 F.- …”

Prior the purchase through the family Mantler there was a frequent change in ownership:

1751: Anna Theresia Köglin
1781: Jakob Mößmer, Ortsrichter
1787: Herr Anton Aquila, Reg. Beamter
1788: Herr Peter von Strehmayr, Verwalter
1805: Herr Karl von Lang, Major
1808: Herr Karl Hofsaß

Through constant care and active renovation, the old monasterial buidling still presents itself from its best side even today. The courtyard is tastefully landscaped by Margit Mantler-Ferstl and invites you to linger, especially in the spring. No matter in which direction you look, your gaze will most certainly meet something green.
