It is a structural feature: the former rectory on Hochdorfer Straße in Althegnenberg was built in the Baroque style, but also has elements from the late 1950s.

Now it has been bought by a family who want to renovate the building in accordance with a listed building.

Althegnenberg -

The building is in good

shape

overall, but it still needs to be renovated both inside and out.

In addition, the attic is to be expanded.

And last but not least, modernization of the outdated heating is sought.

According to the responsible architect Stephan Bauer, the costs for the entire package are estimated at around 400,000 euros.

The district is supposed to give a grant, which is why the members of the Committee for Culture, Leisure and Sport visited the house on their visit to the monument this year and were informed about the project.

The two-storey baroque building with its steep gable roof was erected in 1768.

A small farm once belonged to the property.

Later the building was only used for living - until the end of the pastor.

An annex was built at the beginning of the 20th century.

“But it was dismantled again in the 1970s,” reported Bauer.

The last interior renovation took place 17 years ago.

Now the diocese has sold the building to a family.

When you enter the house, you don't see much of the baroque style inside.

The stairwell looks rather modern.

District home nurse Susanne Poller explained why this is so: "Due to the numerous renovations, there are elements that are actually not listed." These were added in a second construction phase in 1958.

The mixture of baroque and 1950s elements makes the house something special, she said.

The baroque era comes to life in a corner room on the first floor.

“A large part of the stucco ceiling has been preserved there,” said architect Bauer.

It is important to maintain this during the renovation.

Roof structure is worth seeing

District architect Karin Volk also thinks the roof structure is well worth seeing: “It has astonishingly little damage for its age.” The top floor extends over two levels.

The new owners want to expand the area.

The committee members saw for themselves that the beams actually look very well preserved as they climbed the narrow steps to the top floor.

In one of its next meetings, the district council's committee must now discuss the extent to which the district will subsidize the renovation of the listed building.

According to Poller, it will ultimately be decisive whether the committee members also consider the elements from the 1950s to be important in terms of building history.
