A very beautiful, historic building with a lovely park including a children's playground. The town hall is housed in the former hunting lodge of Prince August of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, a listed building.

The town hall of Schladming is a former hunting and residential palace of the Brazilian branch of the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha family and is a listed building. In 1884, Prince Ludwig August of Saxe-Coburg, widowed son-in-law of the Brazilian Emperor Pedro II, commissioned the Coburg court architect Georg Konrad Rothbart to build a hunting lodge in Schladming. After the fall of the Brazilian monarchy in 1889, the palace became the preferred residence of Ludwig August's son, August Leopold of Saxe-Coburg and his wife Karoline of Austria-Tuscany. In 1917, Schladming became the family's main residence. In 1940, the town of Schladming bought the house and turned it into the town hall.

Beautifully landscaped with flowers

Very nice little park

Very beautiful and lovingly landscaped park around the town hall, with enough benches to linger

Does not it look great?

From here you have a very nice view over the lake, unfortunately there are a lot of tourists here compared to the hiking route. There is also the option of taking the cable car up if you have difficulty walking. There is a restaurant right next to it.

From 1879 to 1883, the Viennese industrialist Jean Roth built a villa on Lake Grundlsee based on the plans of his brother and architect Franz Roth, which he used as a hunting lodge. After Austria was annexed by Hitler's Germany, the Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and his family used the castle. Bloody tragedy On the night of September 4th to 5th, 1939, two shots were fired in the house. The castle actor Attila Hörbiger, who also lived in the villa, broke into the rooms where the shots had been fired after breaking a window and found two bodies there. The victims of the tragedy were the son of the owner of the villa, 23-year-old Dr. Georg Roth and his 22-year-old bride Trude Kuntner. Dr. Roth first shot his bride and then took his own life with a shot in the head. No suicide notes were found The villa is privately owned and can therefore only be viewed from the outside.
