The "Riesen" can rightfully be described as Germany's oldest princely inn—a house that does not just breathe history, but literally embodies it.
The estate was mentioned in documents as early as the mid-12th century. Famous figures such as Louis the Bavarian (1314) or Charles IV (1368) are said to have stayed here. Even though the very early records are no longer available today, its mention in the court book of 1411 is considered historically verified. A place that has endured through the centuries.
It is exciting to enter these rooms. Between autumn 1999 and April 2001, the interiors were fundamentally renovated on behalf of the Brauhaus Faust in Miltenberg. In doing so, the immense historical significance of this house was taken into account to an exceptional degree.
The result is a traditional inn of a high standard. It is one of those rare places where locals and guests from all over the world feel equally at home. Traditional and at the same time absolutely unique!
The menu is harmonious and offers something for every taste. Honest hospitality is a top priority here. When in Miltenberg, you really cannot pass by this house.
A visit is highly recommended for fans of historical architecture and good tavern cuisine. You can find all further current details directly on the Riesen website.
