Germany’s colourful Harz mountain town — hikes near Wernigerode

The Gothic House in Wernigerode awaits you with a rustic, modern flair and a top location on the historic market square. In this, one of the oldest and most beautiful half-timbered buildings in the city, you can embark on a journey through the centuries. Here in the four-star hotel, the Middle Ages meet the modern. Because not only the listed half-timbered facade of the hotel will enchant you, but also the interior design leaves nothing to be desired. Our individually designed rooms and suites revive medieval romance thanks to their special half-timbered style with floorboards and wooden beams. The bridal suite is especially recommended. The 34 square meter, half-timbered room with a romantic sleeping and living area takes you back to the Middle Ages. In addition, there is a balcony with a wonderful view of the historic market square with its colorful half-timbered houses.

You can indulge in culinary delights in our gourmet restaurant. The house has housed a restaurant for 150 years. And since 1481 the underground vault of the house served as a wine cellar. For your physical well-being, we offer you various types of spa treatments, soothing massages and a revitalizing sauna in our wellness area.

Finally, the origin of the "h" in the name should be explained. The additional letter probably crept in in the 19th century. Since then, the old half-timbered structure has undergone a number of conversions, renovations and modernizations, but only one thing has survived to this day: the letter "h" in the name.
