On Hellbrunner Allee — no other private estate of this period, scale, and enclosure remains for private acquisition on this avenue.

The Estate
A walled Salzburg compound.
An early-Baroque ensemble of more than eight hectares on Hellbrunner Allee — eight historic structures within a continuous perimeter, immediate to the city yet wholly private.

Overview
An integral seventeenth-century ensemble, wholly enclosed.
Schloss Emsburg is a coherent early-Baroque estate founded in 1619 on Central Europe’s oldest seigneurial avenue. The compound includes a principal residence, a gallery and residential building, four ancillary houses of religious and courtly origin, a historic orangerie, and extensive service buildings and stables — all set within a continuously walled park with formal axes, water, mature canopy, and a protected landscape setting.
The house is offered privately. Detailed documentation, estate plans, and the building-by-building inventory are released to qualified parties and their advisers under confidentiality.

IIILocation
Within the city, apart from it.
Hellbrunner Allee, laid out in 1606 and considered Central Europe’s oldest seigneurial avenue, links the Altstadt to Schloss Hellbrunn. Emsburg holds its address at Nº 52 — a walled presence on the avenue, entered through a private gate.
Salzburg’s Festspielhäuser, Mozart’s birthplace, and the principal hotels of the Altstadt are within minutes. Salzburg W. A. Mozart Airport is a short drive. The Untersberg and the Bavarian border frame the estate’s horizon.

IVWhy it is rare
A configuration that cannot be reassembled.
Each element of Emsburg is individually uncommon. Their combination, on this address, at this scale, under this degree of protection, is effectively non-replicable.
02
Intact perimeter
A continuously walled compound within a city; a condition more common to hill-top castles than urban estates.
03
Eight buildings, one ensemble
A functioning set of primary, ancillary, service, and landscape buildings — enough to host a family office, foundation, or seasonal salon without new construction.
04
Protected, not public
Heritage-listed with formal inventory, adjacent to the UNESCO buffer, yet held privately — not a public monument, not a visitor site.
