WebsiteAt Grenzhof, chef Sebastian Andrée and his team are strongly influenced by the seasons and their produce in their modern cuisine, which is served as a three to six-course menu and an appealing à la carte selection. In nice weather, the Kastanienhof is absolutely idyllic; on less clement days and in winter, the Gutsstube with its rural-style decor is welcoming. At lunchtime, options are limited to a lunch buffet and a short lunch menu. They also rent out various spaces for private events. For overnight stays, they propose attractive and inviting country house-style and themed guestrooms.
