It has been family owned for over half a millennium. It will not be made available to external guests for the first time in 2024. Also contact us about our wedding package. You can rent the castle and the courtyard house for yourself and your guests (15 beds) and hold your party in the remise in the courtyard. Surroundings: Healthy time-out in nature - the surrounding Soonwald offers countless opportunities for hiking and cycling! The premises: The castle offers plenty of space to relax on 600 sqm indoors and the 500 sqm terrace with garden and pool. The bedrooms: There are a total of three tower suites ("Antonius Tower Suite", "Lexi Tower Suite" and "Red Chapel Suite"), each with four beds. In addition, there is a double room ("Tambach Room") and a single room ("Rolshausen Room"). The castle thus offers 15 beds and is particularly suitable for families and groups. The rooms are all very spacious. More information about the rooms: There is a double bed in the tower suite "Red Chapel" (north-east tower 1st floor). In front of it is a separately accessible room with two single beds in it. Both rooms share a bathroom. In the "Lexi Tower Suite" (north-east tower 2nd floor) there is a large double bed in the back room and another double bed in the anteroom. The shared bathroom is accessible from both rooms. In the "Antonius-Turm-Suite" (North-West Tower 2nd floor) there is a double bed in the back room and another double bed in the anteroom. The shared bathroom overlooking the forest behind and the village of Gemünden is accessible from the anteroom. The "Tambach Room" (2nd floor south side) has a double bed. This includes a shower room right across the hallway. Next to the "Tambach room" (accessible from the hallway and with a connecting door from the "Tambach room") is the "Rolshausen room" with a single bed in it. The kitchen: In the kitchen with dining area (a large wooden table) there is a large induction stove (Bosch) and oven (Miele). There are also sufficient and tasteful dishes and glasses. For elegant diners, the Knightsaal is right next to the kitchen. For coffee, there is a filter coffee machine and an Italian mocha pot (caffettiera) on site. Other spaces and pool: The large salon with three sofas and several armchairs on the ground floor offers further space to linger. From here you can access a small terrace and stone stairs down into the garden and pool. The pool is exclusively available for our holiday guests until 5 pm during the season (approx. June to early September). After that, access to the garden and pool is blocked. General information about the castle: The former castle has been extensively renovated. We attach great importance to sustainability. We heat CO₂-neutral with a newly installed wood chip heater. We generate electricity from our own photovoltaic system. Since the floors and furniture are sometimes very sensitive, eating and drinking is only allowed in the kitchen and dining room. The house rules apply after moving in (stored here digitally and on site - please read through beforehand) There are a variety of seating options on the terrace and garden areas. There are pillow tops for all seating furniture. The swimming pool is surrounded by a fence for the safety of the children. Additional information about small groups: If each guest wants to have their own room, the division can be arranged as follows: The castle offers a total of four bathrooms - accordingly, four people/couples can stay separately in their own room with a bathroom. Otherwise, there would be eight separate rooms - of which two pass-through rooms are - and bathrooms must be shared accordingly. For group bookings where each guest wants to occupy their OWN ROOM, the cleaning fee increases from €250 final cleaning to €350 FINAL CLEANING. The reason: the room in the castle is very large. With this, we deny the higher effort, preparing the additional rooms for only one guest each. We charge the additional fee of 100€ manually after booking. WiFi: There is Wi-Fi in the castle. But because of the thick castle walls, it is sometimes not accessible in the rooms. Only on the lower floor in the entrance area is it relatively strong. Additional services: For all barbecue lovers: There is a gas grill on request. For 25 euros per stay, we provide you with the barbecue. This makes it wonderful to grill on the castle terrace! We are happy to provide a travel cot, changing table and high chair for 8 euros per day. We welcome your dog. We charge 10 euros per day per dog for this. Bed linen and towels (for bathroom and pool) are included in the price. In addition, we provide towels for a surcharge per stay (5 euros per person per set). Guest access Through the entrance hall you enter the large castle kitchen with dining area, which can also be used for larger dinners. The amenities are basic but fully functional. Back in the hall, they come through the double gullwing door into the large salon. From there, a wide staircase leads into the garden with swimming pool. From the hall, the large stone staircase leads you to the first floor. There, in the north tower, is the "Red Chapel" suite with a "children's room". On the second floor is the "Lexi Tower" to the east side, to the south side is the "Rolshausen Room" with a view of the Soonwald and next to it the Tambach room. In the south-west tower is the "Antonius Suite". A total of 15 people can stay in the castle. The castle is divided, with part of it still being used by the owner family. The owners can also be on site during the rental. Some cabinets with private contents and rooms are not accessible. The castle terrace is only partially exclusively at your disposal. The small area in front of the half-timbered part of the castle belongs to the private part. Other things to note What do vacation guests love about us?
