Wirtshaus an der Lahn, Historical inn with customs tower in Lahnstein, Germany
The Wirtshaus an der Lahn stretches across three floors, featuring a stone ground level and timber-framed upper stories next to a round customs tower.
The customs tower, constructed in 1348 by the Electors of Trier, served as a revenue collection point and was documented in St. Kastor's Monastery records in 1373.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe visited this establishment during a boat journey with Lavater and Basedow, stopping for lunch on July 18, 1774.
The establishment provides accommodation services, hosts private events, and offers bicycle rentals, including electric bikes for exploring the surrounding region.
The building complex contains a round tower with a special wall design created to break river ice, despite never having an official harbor.
