The building represents a remarkable and impressive unique architectural evolution which took place over several centuries. The first documented mention of the city name goes back to 904 A.D., but settlement is proved back to the Neolithic.

The first proven appearance of this building came as part of the city walls, as a reinforced access to the watchtower, around the year 1200. But it might well be even older than this.

Additionally it was used as a customs house to tax the exchange of goods that entered the city. In the second part of the 15th century the defenses were once again improved in order to defend the city against the invasion of the ottoman empire. Probably in 1794 due to an earthquake the roof of the watchtower himself had to be repaired and the property at stake lost part of his fortifications, while keeping its residential function.

The basic building fabric essentially preserved shows oriels with tiny windows in order of defensible sentinel posts and its three pavements are based on historical cross vaults and walls up to 27 inches thick.(which helps to keep the temperature stable, whether it´s hot or cold.)

Later on, there were added baroque elements as some windows and details. One third of the construction was edified as last amplification in the 19th century.

The immediate neighborhood of the last standing medieval watchtower in town, as the impression of living on layers of history under one´s feet, makes one imagine all those remarkable events, that this building testified over its almost thousand years of history.

The three store building occupies a corner property with an area of 273, 25 m² The third floor and the attic store (not pictured here) offer great opportunities to be extended into a nice loft or two apartments, including a roof garden with a wonderful view over the river. A project has been developed already.

The roof was renewed six years ago.The ground floor has 113, 29 square meters and is currently used as an art gallery.

A property located in the center of Austria the green heart called Styria.Surrounded by majestic mountains and lakes and rivers of clear and clean water. Though having this beautiful and healthy environment due to lots of nature in his neighborhood, she is in no way isolated or underdeveloped, being fully connected to the most sophisticated infrastructures, equally distanced from and closely ranged to the mayor cities of Austria, as well as to its European neighbors, as for example Italy (2 h 22min), Germany (2h36min), Slovenia (1h36min) always in reach by very well maintained highways and modern railways.As the second major city in the state, but still small enough to provide a friendly and family appropriated lifestyle, she also got a very vivid cultural life, due to her traditional and unique university, founded 1840 (said to be the most important university of mining techniques, matter research and oil technologies in the world) as well as to his ancient history, which can be encountered in every corner and by each step taken. (210 ancient castle and fortresses in the federal state alone.)The property itself is located at the riverside, framed by old trees. At the same time, what makes its location so special, is, that the city center with its shopping center, bars, theatres and Italian style market square is just five minutes away, by feet.The view over the clean river, the silent and peaceful surroundings will make your day and the comfort of close infrastructure might well keep it that way.
