Architecture Beauty unchained

Architecture Beauty unchained

This former prison is built from the same red sandstone that was used for the cathedrals of Freiburg and Strasbourg.

Designed in 1840 by renowned architect Heinrich Hübsch, the building has gone through numerous renovations involving new oak floors, the removal of window bars, and an added glass section between two brick buildings. Many of the former cells have been connected to form more spacious guestrooms. Thick original walls and steel doors keep the building’s history at the forefront.

Interior design Pure Knoblauch

The Knoblauch design team kept the building’s historical character while reducing any rigidity through playfulness.

Retro-technological furnishings contrast handcrafted pieces by local craftspeople, while tiled bathrooms, black leather headboards, and distressed brown leather sofas feature in many rooms and suites.
