A look back …
1456
The Prunner’s documented family history dates back to the middle of the 15th century. Our forebears have always been farmers and innkeepers. The family’s ancestral home, ‘Oberwirt Hof’, comprised an impressive building and a barn with stables for cattle. Since it was in the centre of Scena, the Prunner family always provided a hub for people in the local area.
1809
Johann Prunner (1770 - 1853), who built ‘Oberwirt’ and was a captain in the defensive forces in Scena played a significant role as privy councililor to Andreas Hofer in the coordination of the defensive battles against the French and Bavarians.
1896
The Prunners lived in the Oberwirtshof for almost five centuries. The family eventually sold their ancestral home in the town of Scena and purchased the nearby ‘Buschenschank’ (tavern) with the revenue.
1920
The family managed the ‘Buschenschank’ as an inn, gradually turning it into a hotel from around 1920 and providing options for guests to stay the night. In the beginning there was only a bathroom and a WC on each floor, later on running hot and cold water was provided for the rooms.
The welcome culture continued to grow
Our forebears were true pioneers in the early tourism of the interwar period. The hotel continued to be extended and upgraded, with particular attention paid to retaining its charm and traditional elements.
Conservation & development under one roof
The “shell” of our historic Hotel Schlosswirt universally reflects originality. Since our holiday home from home directly faces Scena Castle and has an impact on its look, the Schlosswirt is deemed as being particularly worthy of preservation. The exterior walls, with their lovely façade paintings, are conservation protected.
Walls remain, but the wheels of time continue to turn. And with them, so too our delight in progress. Our passion for being hosts makes us creative. The heart of our hotel and sections of our exterior area reveal our yearning for design elements. Moments of relaxation and comfort drive home the idea that your well-being is a concept that is preserved here with us too.
