Villa Maund
Villa Maund is a villa in Schoppernau, Hopfreben in Vorarlberg, Austria, built for Sir John Oakley Maund (died 10 June 1902) between 1891 and 1895.
The German Crown Prince William of the House of Hohenzollern used the villa from 1908 as a hunting lodge. The current owner rents the building for events.
== History ==
The Villa Maund was a hunting lodge built on a spur of the Alps by the English banker and mountaineer Sir John Oakley Maund, one of the first to climb the east summit of the high Les Droites in the Mont Blanc massif. After his death in 1902, it passed into the possession of his daughter Zoe Désirée Maund throughout the whole property, against the will of her mother Zoe Gertraud Maund, and was sold on 17 November 1931 to the Englishman Martin Holt for 750 pounds.〔Sources: K.K. Bezirksgericht Bezau, Abt.I 26 February 1904; purchase agreement dated 17 November 1931. Cited in Sandmayr, p. 15.〕
Many hunting parties used the villa, including the German Crown Prince William, who in 1908 was the first motorist in the Bregenzerwald.〔 Note: automobile driving on the roads in the Bregenzerwald was forbidden until 1920.〕 Other prominent guests over the years included Queen Elizabeth II.〔 From 1995 to 2007 the Vorarlberg artist and campaigner Paul Renner lived in the Villa Maund. Among his guests were Zaha Hadid, Daniel Spoerri,〔 Ferran Adrià, Günter Brus, Franzobel, Heinz D. Heisl and Eckart Witzigmann.
