Gut Sülz, Heritage monument in Oberdollendorf, Germany.
Gut Sülz is a half-timbered building operating as a restaurant, located on the slopes of Oberdollendorf amid vineyards. The estate features interior dining rooms and a large outdoor area with seating for many guests.
Gut Sülz was first mentioned in 966 as a noble free court and belonged to the Cistercian abbey of Heisterbach from the 14th century until its secularisation in 1803. The present building dates from 1656 and was extended at the end of the 19th century. Wine production ceased in 1967, and since 1978/79 the estate has housed a wine tavern.
The name Gut Sülz refers to the estate itself, not to a stream; the site lies at the foot of the Sülzenberg, a vineyard on the west slope of the Dollendorfer Hardt. Wine was made here until 1967, and since 1978/79 the buildings have housed a wine tavern with indoor and outdoor seating.
The forecourt was redesigned from spring to autumn 2014 with basalt paving, a natural-stone wall replacing the concrete retaining wall, and removed kerbstones that widened Bachstraße. The restaurant reopened after renovation in 2020, with seating indoors and outside. The estate lies at about 77 m on the edge of Oberdollendorf, at the foot of the Sülzenberg.
The vaulted cellar beneath the meadow is medieval, older than the 1656 building above it. The estate was first mentioned in 966 together with Dullendorf, and from the 14th century it belonged to Heisterbach Abbey until its secularisation in 1803.
