About the property
Villa Wellspacher shares a rich history with Semmering and the surrounding area. The property upon which Villa Wellspacher is constructed was bought by a Factory owner in Schottwien named Wellspacher, on which he had the house erected in the late 1800s. It was constructed in the famous Villa Architecture of those days by the same architect which designed the chapel located on the high street on Semmering, which could easily be observed by the similar design of the roof. The house can be read up on in the book “Villenarchitektur am Semmering”, which was written by Günther Buchinger and published in 2006 and a painting of it can be found in the Alte Leopoldsapotheke located on Plankengasse near the Dorotheum (Auction house est. 1707) in Vienna. Formerly known as the Vecaj Villa (pronounced ve-chai), a name that it had acquired during the years it was operated and run as a Healing water institution in the early 1900s by a Hungarian Doctor of that name, the house was completely reconstructed in 2009 and reopened its doors as Villa Wellspacher, a private luxury Apartment accommodation provider in December 2011.
