Tour & craftsmanship
Some rooms you have to see in motion to understand them. The glass floors that open the view down onto the hand-carved 1711 beams, the burning soapstone stove, the morning light in the roof alcoves: a photo shows the moment, a video shows the feeling. Here you can see our holiday home in Rimpar near Würzburg from the inside before you arrive, and how gilding is still done today at the old goldsmith's workbench.
Glass floors, beamed ceilings, the goldsmith's workbench, all three floors in one go.
A DIY tutorial on gold leaf gilding, filmed here in the house using a letter opener as the example. This is how the goldsmith's craft still lives on today.
