Haus im Turm, Architectural heritage villa in Rhöndorf, Germany
Haus im Turm is a classicist villa with a central tower and medieval architectural elements located in Rhöndorf along Drachenfelsstraße. Today it functions as a wine tavern and sits within a park containing rare tree species.
The building began in the 13th century as a fortified residence for the Roendorp knights. Major changes came around 1689 during the Palatinate War of Succession, shaping its present form.
The wine tavern in the courtyard continues the Rhine region's long tradition of wine production and hospitality. Visitors experience a living craft that has shaped life in this area for many generations.
The site opens Wednesday through Sunday between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM and is easily reached on foot. The surrounding park and grounds are pleasant for a stroll before or after enjoying the wine tavern.
A baroque fountain basin from the 17th century sits in the park and remains in its original condition. This hidden detail reveals the care taken in designing and maintaining the property over the centuries.
