On this very location there used to be a big manor house back in the Middle Ages which has been burnt down and destroyed. Sometime later a Bavarian farmhouse was built in its place. In the 1900s the farmhouse was extended with a stud farm and then in the 1960s with a dairy farm and a gardening area as well. This also used to be a training camp for horses.

In 1985 the current owner purchased this piece of land and that’s when a shift was made towards organic food production. In 2016 part of the farmhouse was destroyed in a fire and that’s when architecture studio vonMeierMohr Architenken stepped in to restore and renovate this whole place, also transforming it into the hotel that it is today.
