History to the present day

The house itself is an architectural bagatelle, begun in 1840 and remodelled in 1900. The half-timbering suggests Tudor, yet the verandas and French windows give it a colonial air. Built as a hunting and fishing lodge, the hotel has a rich history; from the turn of the 12th Century until World War II, it was the only barium spa resort outside of Germany.
