History with echoes to this day

W. A. Mozart's grandfather, Wolfgang Nikolaus Pertl, was a magistrate in St. Gilgen. He built the St. Gilgen court between 1718 and 1720. W. A. Mozart's mother Anna Maria Pertl was born in this house on December 25, 1720. At the age of 33, W. A. Mozart's sister Maria Anna, known as Nannerl, married the St. Gilgen court judge and moved into her mother's birthplace in 1784.

She lived in this house, where her children and stepchildren grew up, for 17 years until the death of her husband. From the time it was built until almost the present day, the house has been used as a county court. The St. Gilgen district court was closed in 2002. In 2005, the house was acquired by the Mozartdorf cultural association and converted into a cultural and event center, today's Mozarthaus St. Gilgen am Wolfgangsee, between 2008 and 2009.
