As early as the Middle Ages, there was a wine and later beer tavern on the property next to the busy old main road. The innkeeper of Gammelsdorf is first mentioned in writing in the tax book of 1565. On the Time Trails information board you will find a photo of the "tavern" by Anton Kirchhammer from around 1900, on which you can see the postilion with his stagecoach. The post office in the inn existed from 1899 to 1937.
