Our story
A house with history – a place of encounter for around 160 years.
Right in the heart of our region stands a house that has seen a lot, experienced a lot, and heard even more stories: Today's
Guesthouse White Lamb.
Its history dates back to the middle of the 19th century – a time when horse-drawn carriages dominated the streets, gaslight illuminated the evenings, and craftsmanship was still purely manual.

With the economic boom after the war, life in and around the house also changed.
The simple village inn became a
popular economy, where workers, families and travelers stopped.
Here, people ate well, celebrated and laughed – and often played music until late into the night.
