In this creative environment of the painting school, printing workshop, ateliers and paradise garden, the Cranach hostel offers its guests a unique overnight stay experience. The corner house on the market and its quiet courtyard with Röhrwasserbrunnen still announce the wealth of the Cranach family. Over the Renaissance Wendelstein, you will reach 26 elaborately restored and individually furnished rooms on three floors with a wonderful view of the historic market square or the idyllic courtyard.
