Stiegl-Gut Wildshut

The Gut Wildshut, today Stiegl-Gut Wildshut, is a former estate, which belonged to the castle Wildshut and is now run by the Stiegl Brewery in Salzburg as a beer estate. The Gut Wildshut is first mentioned in a document in 930. The castle Wildshut is considered the historical core of the estate. As "Purkchstal Wilczhut" becomes in the early 15th century the seat of a nursing court and is to retain this function until the year 2002. Around 1500, the property comes into the possession of the Bavarian dukes and learns to 1600 various additions and conversions. Thus, the estate is about a Amtshaus, a farm building and finally a tavern affiliated [1]. In 1779, the land around the property became Austrian, and at the same time began to brew beer on the estate. In 1917, the Gut Wildshut finally came into the possession of the Stiegl brewery in Salzburg, which expanded the estate in 2012 with a malting and roasting plant. Today, it is an agricultural holding that, like a winery, produces all the raw materials necessary for beer brewing. The Stiegl-Gut Wildshut in the municipality of St. Pantaleon in Upper Austria is currently the only beer estate in Austria [2].
