A Piece of History That Lives On – Special Property in the Heart of Krems

A house that offers not merely space, but carries history.

In the heart of Krems’ historic old town, directly on Hoher Markt, lies a property that rarely comes onto the market. Behind the striking façade is a listed building whose history reaches far back into past centuries and which today combines historic substance with contemporary use.

On a plot of around 113 m², a total of around 291 m² of usable floor space extends across several levels. The building was extensively restored in 2022, with particular attention paid to preserving its original character. Historic details, the distinctive façade design with red bands, different window axes and a historic spiral staircase still tell the long story of this house today.

At the same time, modern-day comfort has been integrated: A lift connects the various levels and also enables direct access to the upper living area, among other things.

The property is currently divided into four units with different possible uses, thereby combining gastronomy, working, special event rooms and living under one roof.

On the ground floor, around 55.50 m² accommodate a commercial premises or gastronomy area with a bar, several guest rooms, toilet facilities and additional storage areas in the basement. This area is complemented by the possibility of a Schanigarten – right in the historic centre of Krems.

On the 1st upper floor there is a unit of around 27.66 m² with a room, kitchen and bathroom with toilet. On the same level is another particularly special area of the house: the around 35.77 m² historic dining room with entrance hall, kitchen and bathroom/toilet. This room in particular embodies the exceptional character of the property and is itself protected as a historic monument.

The largest part of the building is the around 172.48 m² residential unit, which extends across the 2nd upper floor and the converted attic. It has a living kitchen, three rooms, two bathrooms with toilets, entrance halls, as well as a roof terrace and a loggia. In addition to the central heating, an open fireplace and a single stove create a special residential atmosphere.

Overall, this results in a contractually stated usable floor area of around 291.41 m².

The building is heated mainly by gas central heating. The various levels are accessible both via the historic staircase and the existing lift.

What makes this property special, however, lies not solely in its square metres or its mix of uses. It is the combination of centuries-old history, exceptional architecture and a building that is still full of life today.

Whether as a long-term investment, a prestigious city property or an exceptional investment with different possible uses – this is not simply the acquisition of a property.

Here, one takes on a piece of Krems history and carries it forward.
