Castle jug: façade with medieval decorations
03.12.2024
Today's Schlosskrug was built in the late Middle Ages as a house for the monastery hunter. With the opening of the castle museum, a restaurant was established in the hunter's lodge around 1928.
The half-timbered building has now been given a paint scheme typical of the Baroque period: a narrow line on the beams, decorated with floral ornaments in the corners. The paintwork was discovered during restoration work, and the monument authorities agreed to reconstruct the beautiful floral elements. Similar decorative painting can be found on some of the beamed ceilings in the castle and at Finkenherd 1.
