Bruck an der Mur

Welcome to the Salvator pharmacy in Bruck an der Mur! We look forward to providing you with competent advice on all health issues.

Until 1623, today's pharmacy was the town hall of Bruck. At the end of the 16th century it was too tight for the magistrate, which is why he acquired the immediately adjacent, much larger Archduke Ferdinand's castle. The old town hall was sold to the Hartberg citizen Simon Wels. In 1715, at a time when the plague was at its highest, the town pharmacist Simon Jacob Häntsch bought the house and has been a pharmacy here ever since.

In the following years, Bruck an der Mur was hit hard by the plague. Another heavy blow for the city of Bruck an der Mur, the great fire of 1792, triggered by carelessness in the house of someone

The master saddler on the main square, kindled and spread by a storm wind prevailing at this time, almost completely incinerated the city. Of 166 houses, 164 were completely or partially destroyed. The pharmacist's house, which at that time was largely made of wood, was also badly damaged, luckily the beautiful arcade courtyard inside the pharmacy has been preserved. The damage to the pharmacist's house at that time amounted to 16,620 guilders, which at the current gold price would correspond to a value of around € 600,000 today.

The house was repaired again by 1808.

The beautiful wooden ceiling and the arcade courtyard are still there today. The pharmacy is located on the north side of the beautiful, newly designed main square, right next to the town hall and the city's landmark, the Iron Fountain, which is also the trademark of the Salvator pharmacy. The pharmacist's house was completely renovated in 2013, with the historical facade and roof gable being largely restored with the help of old photographs and construction plans.
