history

The Immenhof goes back to a winery that was built in 1850/51 by the local architect Carl Bachem ( coat of arms and initials on the building) as one of the early villas on the banks of the Rhine in Königswinter. Today's four-wing complex with a two-storey, late classicist main house was built in several construction phases. In 1934 it was converted into a hotel ( Hotel Immenhof ), which was operated until 1993. The building was then to be used as a senior citizens' home, but this was not implemented. In autumn 2005 the former hotel building was reopened as an antiques and furniture shop after extensive renovation and conversion work . A publicly accessible, chargeable parking lot was also created at the rear .

The building was entered in the monuments list of the city of Königswinter on May 31, 1985.
