The first written records of the property date from 1541. The splendid estate, which is referred to as the „house by the monastery“, served as a winery for the monks of the neighboring Franciscan order well into the 18th century. Since 1868, the Sonnhof has been in the possession of the
Jurtschitsch family.
The roots of the estate, however, probably go back to the era of the Babenberg dukes. Parts of the cellar originate in the 14th century and the family coat of arms that was chiselled into the stone above the archway of the ancient Sonnhof estate displays two crossed gothic keys. Ancestors of the Jurtschitsch family uncovered the coat of arms in the loess soils of their vineyards long ago. Since then it has served as a symbol of the long and changeable history of the estate.
