Where History Lives: The Former Altenhohenau Monastery Brewery.
A home with soul.
Some houses impress with their architecture. Others with their size. And then there are those rare places that tell a story.
The former Altenhohenau monastery brewery is one of these extraordinary estates.
For over 500 years, this historic building has been a defining feature of the former Altenhohenau monastery complex. Today, it impressively combines the grandeur of centuries-old architecture with a modern, open-concept living style. Historic vaulted ceilings, extraordinary room heights, and carefully preserved details create an atmosphere that is difficult to capture in photographs—it must be experienced in person.
The centerpiece is the living area, which spans over 80 m². Under imposing vaulted ceilings, the living, cooking, and dining spaces flow seamlessly into one another. An open fireplace, the elegant Pandomo flooring with underfloor heating, and the minimalist, modern kitchen design create an exciting dialogue between the past and the present.
Despite the building being divided, the main apartment—with approximately 240 m² of living space—offers a nearly independent living experience. It is complemented by a separate guest apartment of approximately 100 m²—ideal for guests, adult children, an au pair, or a home office.
The approximately 390 m² attic offers extraordinary potential for development. Whether as a studio, gallery, additional living space, or a private spa—this space provides the freedom to realize individual visions. The installation of an elevator, as well as sustainable energy upgrades featuring pellet heating and solar panels, also appear feasible.
This property is designed for people who seek the extraordinary—people who not only want to preserve history but also want to live within it.
For a more modern heating system, the oil-fired heating system could be replaced with a pellet heating system.
