Holiday home Hof Wen­denius

The ensemble of resi­dential house, barn, coach house and workshop is hidden between Koblenz and Wies­baden in the tranquil village of Hainau and is a typical example of regional rural building culture of the late 18th century. Tog­ether with Mainz-based architect Marc Flick, its new owners have reno­vated the dila­pi­dated three-sided farm­stead, which had been neglected over the decades, and con­verted it into a charming accom­mo­dation and event venue. Always in line with the pre­ser­vation order and with a focus on sus­tainable and regional mate­rials. Since then, the Hof Wen­denius — named after its builder — not only offers its own sleeping house with six stylish rooms, but also a variety of spaces for cooking, socia­lising and cele­brating tog­ether.

The ori­ginal four parts of the building were pre­served and given new func­tions: The former resi­dential building, a gabled, two-storey half-tim­bered building, now houses with four double rooms, two single rooms and three bath­rooms. White walls, light-coloured wooden floors and, in com­bi­nation with the visible old sup­porting structure and his­to­rical wall pain­tings, which came to light when the old building fabric was unco­vered, ensure a har­mo­nious tran­sition between history and modernity. Despite the simple design, a touch of subtle ele­gance per­vades all the rooms.

Directly adjacent to the sleeping house, the barn with its 140 m² of exposed half-tim­bering offers plenty of space for wed­dings, bir­thdays and gathe­rings of up to 60 people. Opposite is the old workshop building with former pigsty — which has been trans­formed into a large inter­con­nected room with a modern kitchen framed by exposed con­crete and a long dining table. Those who want to retreat from the hustle and bustle of cooking and chatting can reach the lounge area under the his­toric roof truss via a striking con­crete staircase. Last but not least is the coach house, the con­necting element, which today serves as a child­ren’s house and allows young guests to play and climb. Young and old will find even more freedom in the spa­cious garden with pool. Or, of course, on the num­erous cycle and hiking trails in the sur­rounding area, which lead through pic­turesque land­scapes, vineyards and his­toric vil­lages.
