The Schweizer Hof is one of the most impressive half-timbered houses in Bretten. Built around 1707, renovated on a voluntary basis around the turn of the century. Today the Schweizer Hof houses the town and regional history museum of the town of Bretten, where you can learn a lot about the history of not only the town but also the Kraichgau in general... ... and a restaurant: schweizerhofbretten.com

According to the results of the historical dating, the current building dates from 1707 and thus from the reconstruction era after the town fire. In the Middle Ages, the Bretten tithe farm of the Frauenalb nunnery, which was very wealthy in the region, was located on this site. The mighty and extensive cellar vaults under the Schweizer Hof also date from this period and are a sight in themselves. The Schweizer Hof, which had become very dilapidated, was renovated on a voluntary basis by the Brettener Heimat- und Denkmalpflege citizens' initiative from March 1997 to October 2001. Today it is a restaurant with outdoor dining. ka.stadtwiki.net/Goldener_Schwan_im_Schweizerhof

Very good and very old inn. The house itself is already a sight. A visit to Corona is definitely worthwhile.
