Gerstlhaus Schenkenfelden

In the authentic Biedermeier room of the Gerstlhaus in Schenkenfelden, Upper Austria, concerts take place regularly in an intime setting, in their center is a very rare fortepiano from the factory of "Anton Walter and Son in Vienna", dated about 1814. There are no longer many instruments by Walter from this era that still exist today, the fortepiano in the Gerstlhaus is one of the very few that can not only be seen, but also heard. The unique sound of this instrument in its original state (restored by A. Czernin, Vienna) and the extraordinary atmosphere take performers and audience alike into the heyday of the fortepiano and the lived chamber music.
However, the Gerstlhaus also houses a museum that provides insights into an original antiquarian shop from the 19th century and an attached post office with tobacconist's store.
