In 1848 the farmer's son and factory founder Christian Getzner died without leaving a descendant. For his nephew and heir Josef Getzner the country residence of the Letzehof offered little convenience. Consequently he constructed a villa on the opposite side of the street, which is still there today. This villa even contained its own chapel with a licence to celebrate mass. The altar of this private chapel was transferred to the Stella Matutina during the Second World War. After which, through negotiations led by one of the lay brothers, it was moved to the chapel in Motten, where it still can be found today. Josef Getzner together with his family remained on the estate and through various purchases extended the property considerably.

The estate remained in the possession of the Getzner family, who managed the farm themselves up to the turn of the 19th century. After, the farm and the grounds were leased to various farmers, who lived in the building of the Letzehof until 1960. The Letzehof or 'Getznerhof', as it was also called at that time, eventually transferred by heritage to Helmut Gassner, a Getzner grandson and relative of the factory owners. He offered the estate to refugee monks from Tibet as their new home. Since that time a Buddhist monk's community exists in the Letzehof, enriching the religious life of the community with an unusual facet and offering at the same time seminars for intensive training of the mind.
