About this property

Exceptional overnight stay in a fortified tower

Welcome to a unique overnight experience in Bad Hersfeld.

Spend relaxing days in the historic defence tower right next to the city park. The lovingly furnished, historic tower is located directly on the city wall in the heart of Bad Hersfeld—just 150 metres from the monastery ruins of Bad Hersfeld. The defence tower is the perfect starting point for exploring the city and visiting one of the many restaurants in the beautiful half-timbered town of Bad Hersfeld.

The accommodation
The tower offers space for 2–4 people across approximately 50 square metres.

It begins on the ground floor with the spacious, high-quality natural-stone bathroom, which features underfloor heating, a walk-in shower, a sink, and a separate toilet. The eastern entrance to the apartment is also located here, directly at the on-site car park in front of the tower.

The western entrance to the apartment is on the mezzanine floor and leads directly to the adjacent city park. From here, you can also access the ground floor, where the fully equipped kitchen—complete with a small bar table and chairs—is located.

On the second floor is the living/dining room with access to a small south-facing balcony overlooking the beautiful park with its ponds. Grab a book and watch the ducks and birds by the city park lake.

In the living room, there is a Smart TV with free access to Netflix, Amazon, and other streaming services. There is also a double sofa bed with a mattress, which can easily be converted into a bed.

On the third floor is the bedroom (gable end) with a double bed.

Pure luxury across four floors with every imaginable comfort! The apartment is fully equipped with everything you need for a longer stay. The defence tower is a medieval tower with 4 floors. The half-timbering begins on the 2nd floor above the solid, thick walls on the ground floor.#

Other important information

The lovingly furnished, historic tower is located directly on the city wall in the heart of Bad Hersfeld—just 150 metres from the monastery ruins of Bad Hersfeld.

In any case, the central location with quick access to the A7/A5/A4 highways is a definite advantage

Die Ferienwohnung war sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und es war alles vorhanden, was man brauchte. Der Parkplatz direkt neben dem Wehrturm war großartig. Wir haben das tolle Wetter auf unserem Mini Balkon hoch oben über der Stadtmauer genossen. Kommen gerne wieder!

Das Objekt ist in der Tat außergewöhnlich. Leider wurde erst einen Tag vor Anreise mitgeteilt, dass sich das Objekt direkt neben einer „aktiven Baustelle“ befindet und es zu Beeinträchtigungen kommen könnte (auch am Wochenende durch Anlieferung von Baustoffen z.B. oder Blockade des Parkplatzes, aber man würde dann sicherlich eine „Lösung finden“). Ich hätte eine Alternative gebucht!Am Samstag gegen7.45 Uhr wurden Baustoffe geliefert, das Lieferfahrzeug stand etwa 2 m vor der Haustür usw.Ca. 200,- /Nacht finde ich unter den gegebenen Umständen stark überzogen.

In der Innenstadt und doch für sich

Von außen ein malerisches Fachwerktürmchen, das an und auf der Stadtmauer sitzt. Der eigene Parkplatz an der Mauer ist komfortabel. Vom freundlichen Vermieter mit dem Code versorgt, öffnet sich die Haustür elektronisch in die hervorragend modernisierten vier Ebenen. Im Marmorbad ganz unten überrascht besonders angenehm die Fußbodenheizung und neben mehr als genügend Handtüchern sind sogar Bademäntel aufgelegt. In der mit allem Erdenklichen ausgestatteten Küche ist alles Notwendige in guter Qualität vorhanden. Die Grundausstattung (z.B. Essig, Öl, Salz, Pfeffer, Kaffee, Tee) ist sehr hilfreich. Noch dazu finden sich ein Willkommensgruß mit Süßigkeiten und Getränken und gar ein Kasten Pils! Im Wohn- und Essgeschoss lässt sich gemütlich sitzen, das Balkönchen lädt zum Sitzen zu zweit in einmaliger Lage über der Stadtmauer ein und ein kleines WC erspart den Abstieg über zwei Treppen für jedes Händewaschen. Toll die zwei großen Kofferständer im Schlafgeschoss, wo dunkle Balken und helle Dachschrägen besonders schön harmonieren. Man möchte kaum nach draußen - dabei sind Marktplatz und Stiftsruine, Bäcker, Supermarkt und Restaurants doch in unmittelbarer Nähe. Wunderbar!
