The restaurant is unfortunately now closed. However, the beautiful half-timbered house and the garden can still be admired.

Clearly one of Stein's more attractive features – and right next to the busy B14 highway! It's all a matter of perspective.

A look into the past

Patronage church of the Faber-Castell family. In front of it is the founder's monument. The church was donated in 1861 by the entrepreneur Lothar von Faber to mark the centenary of his flourishing pencil company. In return, he and his descendants were granted the right of patronage. The church was designed by building inspector Bernhard Solger according to the guidelines of the Eisenach regulations and consecrated on September 1, 1861. It is a neo-Gothic hall church made of sandstone blocks with a recessed chancel with a 5⁄8-inch end, a gable roof, and a southern central tower with a tent roof. (Source: Wikipedia)
