In 1852 Archduke John acquired the Thurnerhof as a farm so as to “put the castle (Schenna) on an economically healthy footing”. In accordance with his agricultural aims he had grain fields planted and ultimately also grew grapes, John is considered one of the leading wine pioneers of his time.
 
Later – due also to the economic hardships caused by war – the emphasis was more on fruit-growing and animal husbandry: from the 1960s on came the apple orchards with their old and new varieties as we know them today.
 
The Thurnerhof has nevertheless retained its original romantic character: nestling among orchards and protected by mighty chestnut trees, it is located just outside the centre of Schenna, an oasis of silence and one of the finest and best-preserved farms in the locality.
 
In 1996 the owners opened an inn there that has been extremely popular for over 20 years now, a place where visitors can sample tempting delicacies from the local cuisine paired with the best wines from the region.
