In the late 1800s, Charles Steinbrecher immigrated to the United States from Austria. He had a dream of constructing a hotel-health spa similar to those he saw back home in Innsbruck, Austria. Unfortunately, he was never able to bring his hotel designs to life before he passed away in 1892. Charles’s son, Father Francis Steinbrecher, was able to fully realize his father’s dream when he built the Maribel Caves Hotel in Cooperstown.
