Gasthof zur Post hosts seminars for up to 80 people, small working groups of 25, weddings, birthdays and company parties, with bedrooms upstairs and its own kitchen. The inn stands at Mozartplatz 8 in St. Gilgen, a village on the Wolfgangsee in the Salzkammergut region of Austria.
Seminars and company events
Two rooms serve business groups. The Mozartsaal is fully equipped and takes up to 80 people, enough for a company meeting or a training day for a whole department. Plombergstein is a modern seminar room for 25, suited to a workshop or a management retreat. The technical kit includes a projector, screen, flipchart and loudspeakers. The family puts together packages to fit the program, so a group can combine meeting time, meals and overnight stays in one place. Company parties are also on offer, and the lake setting gives teams a reason to stay for an evening.
Weddings and receptions
The house hosts weddings, birthdays and company celebrations. The Mozartsaal is the room for formal dinners, the Bachstüberl is a smaller, cozy parlor, and the historic wine cellar gives a vaulted setting for an aperitif or a late evening. The rooftop terrace with its pool and bar, open from May to October, looks over the village and the lake.
Rooms and capacities
The Mozartsaal holds up to 80 people and Plombergstein up to 25. The Bachstüberl and the Weinkeller complete the event rooms for celebrations; their capacities are given on request.
Accommodation
Guests stay on site in rooms named Nannerl, Wolfgangsee, Post-Geschichten, Wolfgangsee de luxe and Weisswand, and in a family studio for up to four people. Antique pieces furnish almost every room.
Catering
The inn's own restaurant serves regional cuisine and caters the seminars and celebrations held in the house. Menus for weddings and parties are planned with the hosts.
History and setting
The oldest walls of the building date from 1330, and the first beer was served here in 1415. For centuries the house worked as a post station, which gave it its name. Original cellar walls, carved wooden ceilings and a tiled stove remain inside. Katharina and Norbert Leitner have run the inn since 1999, joined since 2024 by their daughter Anna and her husband Alexander Lagger. The house faces Mozartplatz, the main square of St. Gilgen, a few steps from the shore of the Wolfgangsee, with the mountains of the Salzkammergut around the lake.
Getting there
St. Gilgen lies on the road between Salzburg and Bad Ischl. Salzburg Airport and Salzburg Hauptbahnhof are the nearest air and rail links, with buses running to the village. Contact the house for parking and transfers for groups.
