ABOUT SONNENHOF WILDKATTA
In the northeastern part of Austria, Waldviertel, you'll find a refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
A place where history is not just told, it's also felt and lived. The area has been a crucial crossroads for trade, cultural exchange, and historical events. Throughout the centuries, this place has witnessed migrations, battles, and peaceful periods, all of which have contributed to the rich cultural tapestry that defines the region today. The community is proud of its heritage, reflected in the well-preserved traditions and local architecture.
Sonnenhof Wildkatta has its own unique story. Originally a farmhouse built in the 18th century, this place has been transformed through generations. With respect for its historical value, we have carefully renovated the buildings to offer a modern and comfortable stay, while retaining the original charm that makes Sonnenhof something out of the ordinary. Every stone, every wall and vault in the ceiling, tells a story of the people who once called this place home.
About Katharina
Born in Vienna, Austria, Katharina Prager came to Sweden as a seven-year-old, where she remained for over 40 years. In 2018, after a long and successful career as an archivist and consultant with her own business, her Austrian roots drew her to her grandfather's home region, Waldviertel. Initially, the idea was to run Sonnenhof Wildkatta in the summers, alongside the consulting business in Stockholm. But life wanted differently and now she since 2020 lives in the village of Weikertschlag an der Thaya.
From having been a city person all her life (Vienna, Erlangen, Västerås and Stockholm) to thriving and developing in a small village, the step was shorter and more natural than one might think. With her great interest in yoga, mindfulness, the healing power of nature and legends and myths, Katharina has found home, in more ways than one, here in the magical Waldviertel.
