Burghof, Heritage monument in Königswinter, Germany

The Burghof stands 212 meters above sea level, between Schloss Drachenburg and Drachenfels castle ruins, featuring a two-story plastered structure with Swiss chalet architecture.

Originally serving as an economic estate for Drachenfels Castle's burgraves in the 12th century, the building underwent reconstruction in 1904 to become a mountain hotel.

The building incorporates architectural elements from the tourism period, including gables, half-timbering, balconies, and decorative arches with wooden paneling.

A path from Eselsweg to Drachenfelsstraße passes by the site, providing access for visitors ascending toward the mountain peak.

The interior maintains its original open staircase extending to the attic, complete with wrought iron railings and historical fireplaces from its construction period.
