The Literary Café Old Pharmacy (Literaturcafé Alte Apotheke) in Steinau an der Strasse is a unique place that combines a café atmosphere with literature.

Built in 1680, the house was formerly a pharmacy. It was purchased by Kirsten Ranft and Hans-Ulrich Werchner-Ranft in 2013 and was renovated and converted over a period of five years.
It is known for its cosy atmosphere and love of literature.

Here you can enjoy coffee, tea and homemade baked goods, and browse through the books that are not just literary decoration.

The first floor is used for readings and book presentations. The Alte Apotheke Literature Café is a meeting point for locals and tourists who appreciate a quiet environment in which to relax with an interesting book.
