The courtyard is on the west side of Bundesstrasse 9 (Mainzer Strasse, house numbers 16-18) above the left arm of the Rhine and below the railway line on the left bank of the Rhine . It can be attributed to the northern foothills of Rolandseck . The building of the former Hotel Rolandseck-Groyen is located a few meters to the south , with the Villa Rolandseck adjacent to the north .

history

The Rolandshof was built around 1830 as one of the first buildings in the area of the road connection between Wittgen (Rolandswerth) and Oberwinter . From 1848 it was used as a healing facility where cold water cures were carried out. A hotel was later started in the building, after which it was sold on for residential use. In 1910 the property was owned by Consul Leiden, who had it extensively renovated that year. The building passed from the heiress of Leidens to the family of the publisher Rommerskirchen. At the end of the 1970s, there was another restoration in which the shutters were removed. After 1979 the Rolandshof served as an art gallery for the Austrian artist Rosemarie Bassi, until she moved to the adjacent Villa Rolandseck in 1990. Today it is the seat of the media publisher Rommerskirchen .

The early Classicist three-storey and ( gable-independent ) nine-axis plastered building has a three-axis central projection with balconies and a triangular gable . The windows are covered by light frames , the facade is pale red. The entire courtyard is walled more than 100 m long on the street side and is a cultural monument under monument protection .
