Dining in Medieval History

Ancient chair and helmets |

When we first walked in the door, a banner with a knight greeted us. Other ancient artifacts from Medieval Times decorated the area. How would you like to wear one of the helmets on the left?

We found out that this basement restaurant was first a wine cellar built in 1293. Today it's a restaurant named Rosengrals.

The low arched ceilings and squat stone pillars attested to the history of the building. The lighting in the restaurant was mainly candles which caused a dark, mysterious atmosphere.
In the middle of the restaurant was an original well, built to help in the wine-making process. Used as a wishing-well today, it adds to the ancient ambience.

One of the side halls with group seating |
Years later, the locals started removing the rubble and discovered again this magnificent wine cellar. It was restored as close to its original state as possible and opened as the restaurant it is today.

Of course, we ate in this atmosphere in February when there were very few people around. I imagine that in summer with the place filled with tourists, the experience would be more realistic yet - loud and boisterous. I can't wait to find out!
