1898
The origins of the Schirg boatbuilding company date back to Franz Schirg's master craftsman's certificate on October 2, 1898. Franz Schirg was a talented craftsman who specialized in building boats. His skills and striving for perfection quickly made his boatyard one of the most respected on Lake Millstatt.
1920
In the 1920s, Franz Schirg expanded his business activities and opened a guesthouse in addition to the boatyard. This decision proved to be a clever move, as tourism on Lake Millstättersee was flourishing at the time. The guesthouse not only provided additional sources of income, but also helped the boatyard to become better known, as guests often showed an interest in the handmade boats.
1988
After a tragic boat accident in 1988 and in view of a slightly ailing tourism industry, the guesthouse had to be sold by the Schirg family. In October of the same year, the Linder family acquired the business from the Schirg family. From 1988, the Linder family continued to write the history of the Schirg family home.
1994 - 2002
During this phase, a modern heating system was installed, all water and wastewater pipes were replaced with new, durable and corrosion-resistant materials, the entire electrical infrastructure was renewed and nine bathrooms were completely refitted and redesigned.
2004 - 2005
The outbuilding was completely demolished and all damp or water-contaminated areas were thoroughly drained. The building was given extensive thermal insulation to improve energy efficiency and increase living comfort. The outside areas were redesigned, including the paving of footpaths and driveways as well as the landscaping and creation of recreational areas. All windows were replaced with modern, energy-efficient models that offer better thermal insulation and soundproofing. The parking lots were repaved to provide a safe and attractive parking facility for residents and visitors.
2014
A garden wall was built to further embellish and demarcate the outdoor area.
2015 - 2024
During this period, all 9 rooms, including the bathrooms, were completely renovated and all floors in the entire building, including the stairwells, were replaced. The stairwells were also redesigned.
The breakfast room was extended and refurnished. The rental for campers was also launched. A bicycle room including drying room and ski room was built. In addition, an electric charging station was purchased and a 22 kW photovoltaic system was installed in the Bäderweg for the private house and the business, and all exterior lighting systems were replaced with more energy-efficient ones.
2024 - 2027
A new reception is planned for the coming years. In addition, the pension will be handed over to the second generation of the Linder family.
The continuous development and modernization of the guesthouse shows the commitment of the Linder family to always offer guests the highest level of comfort and quality.
