Marienheim (now the Hotel Maria)
From art studio to one of the largest hotels of the Belle Époque period
Although the house and workshop which art distributor Franz Schmalzl de Ianesc built on Antonibo-den in 1872/73 was unassuming in size and nature, by the turn of the century the Marienheim had grown to become the third-largest hotel in St. Ulrich— complete with a swimming pool and a dining room which occupied an entire floor.
In the period following the Option Agreement, the hotel fell under the ownership of the state. In 1963, the western part of the building became a commercial and residential building, while Rosa Schmalzl converted the eastern part into the Hotel Maria. Her family still run the hotel to this day.
