Description of the attraction
The picturesque town of Pertschach on Lake Wörthersee, which is located in the Austrian region of Carinthia, is distinguished by its modest size - it covers an area of just over 16 square meters. km. However, despite this, Perchach is famous for the abundance of beautiful, graceful, original castles-villas that belonged in the past to wealthy people who were looking for solitude in the summer months on the shore of the lake. Most of the villas are lined up along the seashore. They seem to be looking at themselves in the calm waves of the lake, admiring their perfection.
In small Perchakh, there are about two dozen villas built at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. Some of them are surrounded by high fences, as they are still privately owned and used as summer cottages by wealthy and noble Austrians. Slender, as if elongated upward, Villa Wörth is considered the pearl of the Klagenfurt district and the coastal areas of Lake Wörth. It was erected in 1891 by the architect Josef Viktor Fuchs, who built several more palaces in the so-called "Werthersee style". The three-storey building is decorated with one large turret and two smaller ones, topped with onion domes. In the design of the villa, it is worth noting the details typical for the style of the German Renaissance: open terraces, loggias, high arched windows with wooden frames.
Villa Werth has now been converted into a comfortable hotel. The company that bought this historic building owns several more hotels on Lake Wörthersee. Werth Palace is surrounded by a park of 5 thousand square meters. Hotel Werth also has its own beach on the lake.
