Stocker house then and now

Stocker house is a townhouse steeped in tradition. The house’s construction is particular, built as it is of undressed stone, its windows covered with wrought-iron grilles, its interior cosy and welcoming. Stocker house resonates with romantic charm. We are committed to preserving this particular charm, while applying touches of modernity.

 

7 remarkable facts about the history of our house:

 

Stocker house is the oldest secular building in Hallstatt’s town centre, tracing its noble history back over more than 500 years.

If the words of chronicler Isidor Engl are to be believed, the house was built earlier still, during the time of Queen Elisabeth of Bohemia (1311). This assumption is backed in part by the discovery of an ancient vault during excavations in the building’s garden.
 

According to the chronicler, Stocker house would back then have served as a court of law.
 

The name Stocker goes back to Nikolaus Stocker, who bought the house in 1774. His sons would come to inherit it later.
 

In the late 19th century, the building was extensively refurbished and opened to the public to serve as Hallstatt’s museum.
 

After long years of disuse, it was incorporated in 2001 into a major hotel project which sought to form a hotel business from buildings in Hallstatt that were unused but of historical significance. Following several years of planning and financing, the project was realised in 2009. Stocker house, together with Kainz house and Seethaler house, became something special indeed: the Heritage.Hotel Hallstatt.
 

It was Hallstatt’s first 4-star hotel, aiding in its quick rise to prominence and in the last ten years it has become popular with guests from near and far. The two managers Peter Scheutz and Simone Lenz (who actively runs the hotel as managing director) every year welcome guests to the Heritage.Hotel Hallstatt from a total of 100 different countries. As the Hallstatt locals are fond of saying: “Hallstatt plays host to all the world.”
