Zehnthof (Nordheim am Main)
The Zehnthof in Nordheim am Main is one of the landmarks of the Franconian wine town. As the most magnificent building in the village, it is on the main road. A secluded chapel is located inside.
history
In 1306 the Münsterschwarzach monastery received possessions in Nordheim. Over the centuries the Schwarzach people steadily expanded their influence in the village, and in the course of the 16th century they even became landlords of the village. To give the rich monastery a representative building, Abbot Johannes IV. Burckhardt built the first part of the Zehnthof in 1585 . His successor John VI. Martin and Placidus Büchs extended the building until 1688.
The Zehnthof chapel was furnished in late baroque style in 1755. In 1764 the cellars of the Zehnthof held 6,000 hl of wine. In the years after secularization , the building was used as a kindergarten and nurses' station. In 1965 it was acquired by the Nordheim wine cooperative and converted into a wine bar and restaurant. The Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation classifies the Zehnthof under the number D-6-75-155-4 as an architectural monument.
architecture
The Zehnthof is assigned to the Renaissance. Two- and three-storey buildings form a three-wing complex. On its west side it is walled, so that an inner courtyard was created. Several gables with rich decoration structure the building.
In the north of the complex on Hauptstrasse, six windows with framed ears structure the facade . Below three double windows and a single reading are interrupted by the portal. The entrance portal is framed by two pilasters . The gable is richly ornamented and is surmounted by another structure. Above the gate is the coat of arms of the builder, Abbot Johannes Martin. On the right side of the building is the polygonal bay window with decorative panels and a dome.
On the west side, the tail gable of the main building presents itself, at the very top with tracery . It is divided by fittings and four semicircular windows. The building has six windows above, two single and two double windows below. The wall around the Zehnthof leads to the fountain on the street side, which with its dome resembles the bay window.
Two gables divide the south side of the Zehnthof towards Langgasse, on the one hand the volute gable of the extension to the main building with a sundial framed by two tracery windows, on the other hand that of the extension building. The three-story part of the Zehnthof adjoins the courtyard entrance to the right. There are also two pilasters at the entrance, the keystone bears the year 1831.
The east side of the building is partially built. The gable is similar to that on the west side. A coat of arms is placed above one of the cellar entrances in the courtyard. An inscription reports on the Main flood in 1784. A gate leads to the chapel of the Zehnthof.
chapel
The chapel was rebuilt in 1755 under the abbot of the Münsterschwarzach monastery, Christoph Balbus . The paintings inside were created by Andreas Dahlweiner . In 2008, the thorough renovation, which began in 2005, was supported by the Lower Franconian government district award .
