History and setting
The present group of buildings dates from 1900. After a fire in the former Hotel Senfelder, the site was renovated and partly rebuilt. According to the local house chronicle, the site belonged to the municipality from 1642. It housed one of the oldest inns of Purkersdorf, the municipal inn called Zum Goldenen Hirschen. Today the cultural association runs concerts, cabaret and exhibitions in the building, and an associated city gallery.
Getting there
The address is Wiener Straße 12 in Purkersdorf, in Lower Austria, just west of Vienna. A virtual tour of the rooms is available on the venue site.
