Villa Paulick in Seewalchen am Attersee
Events and guided tours
Villa Paulick, built by Friedrich Paulick in 1877, served as a summer residence for his family for many years. The salon contains the builder's masterpiece, a richly decorated coffered ceiling from the Vienna World Exhibition of 1873. Unique stained glass windows in the dining room, murals in the library and wrought-iron doors on the upper floors are further special features.
Therese Paulick married Hermann Flöge, Ernst Klimt's brother-in-law, which meant that Gustav Klimt often visited the villa. The relationship with Emilie Flöge inspired many paintings. Photos show the couple in the garden and on the jetty at Villa Paulick.
The takeover by the Messner family has an interesting history: Jakob Messner, who was serving in the war, met Trude Flöge by chance. He came to the villa through a crop trade and formed a friendship. After Trude's death, she passed the house on to Jakob and Eri Messner, who took exemplary care of its upkeep. Robert Messner's commitment to the fabric of the building and sister Sabine's love of nature are also worthy of mention.
