Storkhouse is a unique artwork and guesthouse designed by Japanese star-architect Terunobu Fujimori in Raiding, the birthplace of composer Franz Liszt. It is supported by the Raiding Foundation as part of its commitment to further the cultural exchange between Austria and Japan.  Storkhouse is part of the Raiding Project that Roland Hagenberg initiated in 2010 with the goal to create experimental miniature buildings by Japanese architects in Raiding – a one hour’s drive by car South of Vienna. Construction of Storkhouse was finished October 27, 2012. It has been open to the public since April 2013. Storkhouse provides accommodation also during the seasonal Franz Liszt Festivals.
