The Legendary Tyrolean Pubs

The many cozy seating nooks and the rounded vaulted ceiling evoke the workplaces of our Schwaz miners—or at least a luxurious version of them. After all, the silver they painstakingly mined in the Schwaz mine is reflected in our decor.

Saint Notburga, the people’s saint, is the patron saint of maidservants; in the early 14th century, she dedicated herself to helping the poor and the vulnerable. In our Notburga Room, the beautiful old tiled stove is just as heartwarming as her courageous story.

By the way: On major holidays, the relics of Saint Notburga are displayed at Notburga Church in Eben.

The lavish lifestyle of the Archduke of Austria and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire is also reflected in our Emperor Maximilian Room. The extravagant chandeliers, gold embellishments, crystal decorations, and fine larch wood would certainly have pleased Emperor Maximilian as well.

In 1887, Albert Wildauer, the prelate of the Benedictine monastery, christened Lake Achensee’s first steamboat the St. Josef. It is not known whether champagne was served at the christening. That would be a shame, though, because champagne is much more enjoyable in our Prälatenstube, with its view of the Residenzgarten.
