Apartment//Holiday home Der Pfarrhof

Since 1775, the Pfarrhof (vicarage) in Eastern Styria has always been a place that con­nects people. Freshly reno­vated, re-ima­gined and lovingly fur­nished, the baroque monument draws a bridge between yes­terday and today and invites its guests for a holiday, to meet, cele­brate and enjoy nature.

Anyone looking for the Pfarrhof will quickly find it. It is located right next to the pil­grimage church of Maria Lebing in idyllic Hartberg. A his­to­rical con­nection that is reflected in many a splendid detail. From the front, the stuccoed, window-filled façade is clear and unclut­tered; to the rear, the L‑shaped building opens up to a festive cour­tyard with arcades, a terrace and a spa­cious garden.

With its five indi­vi­dually designed rooms and one apartment, the Pfarrhof is sui­table for indi­vidual holidays as well as for cele­bra­tions, family reunions, a trip with friends or work­shops. Each room has its own cha­rac­te­ristic details and tells its own little story within the big one: In the room “Franz”, for example, you can see the his­to­rical ceiling painting and from the window get a glance of the tra­di­tional, the owner’s timber manu­facture founded by his grand­father; in the “Weinberg”, baroque old building flair meets 60s fur­niture; the “Apfel­blüte” is light and bright and is dressed in a lot of wood; the small “Vogelnest” is as cosy as its name sug­gests; and in “Maria Lebing”, not only the church comes into view, but also the beau­tiful stucco ceiling. In the north-western part of the vicarage there is also a small apartment called “Obst­garten” — with two rooms, a his­toric wooden ceiling, an ori­ginal tiled stove and sel­ected unique pieces. All the living units combine the new with vintage fur­niture and arte­facts that the owners have coll­ected and arranged over the years.

On the ground floor, guests have access to a shared kitchen for self-catering, a dining room, a large living room and a parlour. Com­ple­mented by a workshop with cross vaults and the spa­cious outdoor area. For cele­brating, brain­storming and just being tog­ether.

Owner

Eva and Oskar Beer love to preserve the old and create something new from it. The beautiful vicarage is not only in the immediate vicinity of the family business, but has also been on their minds for a long time. When it came up for sale in 2019, the couple set themselves the goal of realising what is important to them: a place that connects people, where one can live and enjoy culture.
