Lehár-Schikaneder-Schlössel

The 1737 erected Lehár-Schikaneder-Schlössel is located in the 19th district and housed two famous artists: from 1802 to 1812 Emanuel Schikaneder, the librettist of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart´s opera "The Magic Flute", and from 1932 to 1944 Franz Lehár, composer of operettas. In the former parlour on the first floor autographs, paintings, photographs and memorabilia are exibited. As the building is privately owned visits are possible only on prior appointment.
