The renovation of a medieval tower in Bavaria | V-ZUG Україна

The renovation of a medieval tower in Bavaria

Dating back to 1492, the Vöhlinschloss is a historic castle protected under Denkmalschutz, Germany’s heritage conservation law. Its recent transformation into a refined country residence stems from a sensitive and sustainable renovation – one that restores the landmark’s beauty while balancing historical integrity with contemporary functionality.

Architects Anna Kern and Sebastian Heinzelmann worked closely with skilled craftsmen and specialist planners. They relied exclusively on natural, locally sourced materials – from sand and naturally slaked lime to spruce and oak wood, to conglomerate rock, all sourced from nearby terrain. The result is a place that honours its history while evolving sustainably for the future.

«We believe that working with monuments offers invaluable insight that even innovative construction methods can benefit from. Reuse and resource-efficient practices were once entirely natural». Anna Kern

Original features such as the plank-post wall, timber framing from the building’s early days, and a Rococo stucco ceiling in the main hall coexist with interiors designed to meet modern needs. In the kitchen and dining area, essential lines and pure materials are paired with iconic contemporary furnishings and advanced appliances such as the CombairSteamer V6000 60 and the CombiSteamer V6000 45M PowerSteam.

«Only through collaboration could we restore the Vöhlinschloss. Added to that were our courage and curiosity to explore new experimental building methods». Sebastian Heinzelmann
