Apartment//Holiday home Gutshaus Zarchlin

One hundred heritage windows with a leafy view and good per­spec­tives in terms of sus­taina­bility. The heritage manor house amidst old trees and endless fields on the out­skirts of the small village of Zarchlin tells an exciting story (of its con­s­truction) both inside and out – from its origins in 1879 as the resi­dence of the lord of the manor’s family to its function as a town hall, com­munity workshop, co-op or centre for fes­ti­vities and cele­bra­tions in GDR times.

Today the com­pletely reno­vated guest house with its lovingly designed apart­ments con­tinues to function as a ver­satile space of oppor­tunity – from retreat to socia­lising in the com­munal rooms, whether as a couple, as a family or as a meeting place for work­shops and seminars.

Since 2017, the entire house has been reno­vated in accordance with heritage gui­de­lines and in keeping with its status as a heritage listed building, always with the former building tra­dition in mind. The ori­ginal windows were res­tored and painted with linseed oil paint, the walls were plas­tered again with clay and lime and the old flo­or­boards and half-tim­bered beams were refur­bished. Since there is no need to do without modern comfort despite the heritage ambience, each of the apart­ments has a modern en suite bathroom, com­for­table beds and a mixture of heritage fur­niture and design classics. Three of the apart­ments have their own kitchen.

In addition, the former manor kitchen is available to all guests for com­munal cooking ses­sions – with a spa­cious kitchen unit and large dining table, Smeg range cooker and direct access to the garden terrace with its sea­sonal vege­table beds. This is how culinary cele­bra­tions can still be enjoyed in the company of good friends. The house also strikes the right note with musi­cians, because in addition to a high-quality, sound-opti­mised rehearsal room, there is also a large hall available. All around mean­while, the birds are happily chirping away amidst rural tran­quillity.
