The Christmas House in Bad Tatzmannsdorf, located in the Oberwart district, is officially aiming for a world record during its 17th season in 2026. Construction began in August to install 776,716 lights across the Gollnhuber family's 5,000-square-meter property.
This display seeks to surpass the current record of 745,994 lights held by the Gay family in New York. A judge from the Rekordinstitut Deutschland will verify the attempt on November 21, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. for submission to the Guinness World Records.
The 2026 event features polar bears and a new Goofy figure, with Mayor Stefan Laimer attending in costume. Having raised nearly 400,000 euros for charity to date, the site offers a shuttle train and requests visitor donations to support its ongoing mission.
