Wirtshaus zu Ianesc (later the Gasthaus zur Traube)
500 years of eventful history, and a memorable sculptors’ skirmish
The old Wirtshaus zu Ianesc inn (Vedl Ianesc, now the Margherita shop) dates back to the 16th century. Here, in 1679, master Baroque sculptors had a memorable altercation with the ‘dabblers’ of the trade, whose amateur works could all too easily ruin their reputation.
In the 19th century alone, the inn changed hands three times, before Kristian Schmalzl relocated it to a new building next door. Although the Gasthaus zur Traube remained in the hands of the family, was leased out to tenant management from 1907 onwards.
