The estate was purchased in 1890 by the great-grandfather of the current owner Maria Graf-.Faltl, and has been passed on from one generation to the next since then. The Koststüberl restaurant dates back to the 16th century, and is decorated with Renaissance rosettes. In the upper section of the cellar, the Gothic vault dates back to the 14th and 15th century.
