Milchhäuschen

The Milchhäuschen is a single-story inn in Heimatschutz style in Königswinter with plastered exterior walls set on a terrace foundation. A cross-ribbed vault spans the ground floor dining room and defines the building's architectural character.

The building was redesigned in 1912 by architect Ottomar Stein in the Heimatschutz style, converting it from a dwelling to a restaurant. This renovation happened during the period when regions sought to preserve and modernize their traditional building approaches.

The building was part of an early 20th-century movement to help dairy farmers sell their products directly through dedicated establishments. It shows how regional milk production was promoted through specialized locations designed for this purpose.

The restaurant is easily reached on foot and welcomes guests for meals during operating hours, so checking times before your visit is helpful. The dining room on the ground floor is straightforward to access and provides a comfortable place to eat.

An adjacent storage building from 1907 with a masonry well connects to the main structure through pathways arranged like narrow lanes. This layout shows how functional buildings of the era were organized around central usage patterns.
