Kongress & TheaterHaus

The Kongress & Theaterhaus (formerly Kurhaus) in Bad Ischl, Upper Austria, was built between 1873 and 1875 by the architect Hyazinth Michel (1846-1904).

Due to the imperial summer residence in Bad Ischl and the numerous guests from science, culture and through the imperial house a spa house was necessary to hold concerts and balls for their entertainment. In 1872, the market town bought the so-called "Pfifferlingfeld" and built the Kurhaus there.

In 1965, a devastating fire destroyed the building largely, only the auditorium was spared by the flames. By decision of the city, the house was rebuilt but almost identical and thus retained its style and the flair of the imperial era.

In 1997, the walls were completely restored and renamed it "Kongress & Theaterhaus".

Today, the Congress & Theater House hosts balls, cultural events and various performances of the famous Lehár Festival Bad Ischl.
