In May 2024, the Lehárvilla was ceremoniously reopened and has been a unique cultural jewel in Bad Ischl ever since. Numerous guests, including representatives from politics, culture and the interested public, took part in the festive ceremony.
The Lehárvilla, once the residence of the famous operetta composer Franz Lehár, has been restored to its former glory and invites visitors to immerse themselves in Lehár's private working and living environment and discover his extensive collection of art and antiques.
