In a conversation, he not only emphasizes the importance of lustful for the Viennese cityscape, but also her role as part of the World Heritage Site. "The purchase of a pleasure not only finances magnificent interiors, it also has a deeper value," explains Rath. The prices start at 10,000 euros and can go far beyond, depending on the size and level of detail.

Nevertheless, the company remains an important player in the Austrian craft tradition and relies on quality and excellence in order to continue to be successful in the future.
A look at the story
The roots of Lobmeyr dates back to 1826, when four brothers from Switzerland, originally worked as confectioners, gained a foothold in Italy and began to operate a pastry shop. While the business was concentrated on fine confectionery at the time, the Italian pasticcerie developed into a café culture in the late 19th century, which today shapes the image of Italian gastronomy. Lobmeyr himself can look back on a story full of creative highlights and brings the values of past times into every handmade piece. At Lobmeyr , you can appreciate the art of crafts and add tradition to tradition.
The Viennese company not only remains a significant part of local culture, but also a ray of hope in the world of craft, which still has its place in a constantly changing world.
