Villa Rudolfine
A declaration of love and a gold medal
In 1909, Rudolf Moroder de Lenért had a house with a sculpture workshop built on the grounds of 'Pitl Paul' farm. He called the new construction 'Villa Rudolfine' - a combination of his first name and the name of his wife, Josephine. Rudolf Moroder was awarded a gold medal at the 1900 Paris Exposition. His premature death in the First World War put an end to the 'Gebrüder Moroder's' production of sacred objects. The artist couple, Rudolf Moroder and Finy Martiner, lived and worked in Villa Rudolfine until the beginning of the 20th century.
