In 1887, Karl I, Austria's last emperor, was born in Persenbeug Castle. A few meters from the
Castle Persenbeug is the 16th century building - now called the „Villa am Kaiserweg“ / „Villa on
Emperor way“. The „Villa am Kaiserweg“ with historical frescoes dating from 1518 is one of the
oldest buildings in Persenbeug and the historical area of the Nibelungengau. The historic world
heritage region of Nibelungengau and the neighboring Wachau, protected by UNESCO, are one of
the most popular cultural touristic regions in Austria today. Emperor Ferdinand I, who became
Archduke of Austria in 1521, traveled from Spain and received homage from the estates in
Persenbeug and Ybbs.
With the love of Austrian history and maintaining the timeless, charming atmosphere, the “Villa am
Kaiserweg” is an attraction for art and culture enthusiasts. Since 2022, in the Villa am Kaiserweg
is located MOCAMAG Museum - Museum for Contemporary and Modern Art. In addition to the
exhibition on the history of Habsburg-Lorraine, the MOCAMAG Museum in the Villa on Kaiserweg
also shows the development of art from the 16th century to the present. The exhibition shows
works of art by Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali and graphic works by Gustav Klimt. Exhibitions are
curated by the director of the MOCAMAG Museum Heinz Playner.
