HISTORY

1740

The small terraced garden was laid out most likely at the same time as can be seen by the decorative watch-towers and box hedges.

The reconstruction planned and carried out by the famous architect Josef Munggenast (Melk, Zwettl, Altenburg) caused severe financial difficulties to the family Ehrenreich-Hohenfeld, hence in 1740 the son of Baron Achaz entered the monastery of Zwettl bringing in with him the whole property and incurred debts.

As said, in 1740 the estate Gobelsburg was also incorporated by Stift Zwettl. 1784 the two estates, Kammern and Gobelsburg, were merged and have operated as "Schloss Gobelsburg Weingut des Zisterzienser Stiftes Zwettl".
Since Gobelsburg has developed to one of the major and most distinguished wine-makers of Austria.
