Historic jewel in Krems Old Town – living “On the Castle”

This exceptional property uniquely combines centuries-old history with modern living comfort. Nestled in the picturesque Old Town of Krems, the house is situated on the sunny south side of a medieval lane—in the oldest continuously inhabited settlement area, “Auf der Burg,” first documented as early as 995. The origins of the house date back to the 11th century, giving the property an unparalleled historical depth. The building ensemble consists of three distinctive wings: an early modern press house in the northern section, a connecting wing from around 1745/1780, and a Gothic residential building arranged crosswise to it in the south. Ownership records can be traced in the land register without gaps back to 1745. In 2016, the house was comprehensively renovated with great sensitivity and respect for the historic fabric. Today it presents itself as a cozy home with special charm. A total of six spacious rooms and three stylishly appointed bathrooms are available. The space is complemented by numerous ancillary rooms offering ample storage. The heart of the house is the inviting living room with an open fireplace—a place of warmth and comfort. From here you have direct access to the idyllic garden, which delights especially in spring with enchanting apricot blossom and in summer with the apricot harvest. The elevated view over the rooftops of Krems offers an impressive panorama at any time of day. Two parking spaces are available in the sheltered inner courtyard. The historic wine cellar with original wooden barrels and its own tasting room invites convivial hours and underscores the special character of this property. A spacious attic provides additional storage space. This property is far more than a home—it is a piece of living history, set in one of the most beautiful locations in Krems Old Town.
