The story
Guests dine inside the castle's former horse stable, where the space retains its rustic character through exposed open masonry and heavy brick vaults. White tablecloths contrast with the ancient stonework, creating a backdrop that feels both grounded and formal. The room sits just outside Magdeburg, placing diners within a landscape steeped in medieval heritage while enjoying a menu rooted in French tradition.
The castle dates back to its first recorded mention in 896, hosting guests ranging from King Frederick the Great to Napoleon Bonaparte during his army's rests. After periods of decline under the DDR regime, Dr. Friedrich-Wilhelm Kühne acquired the property in 1993. His family worked to restore the complex, transforming the estate into a hotel and restaurant venue that honors the site's thousand-year history while providing modern hospitality.
The kitchen's commitment to quality has earned the restaurant two ladles from the Schlemmer Atlas guide in 2026. This recognition highlights the successful blend of French cooking standards with the unique atmosphere of the castle. The accolade underscores the venue's standing as a destination for travelers seeking refined meals within a preserved historical environment.
