At 100 m², the Zunftsaal on the third floor is the largest and probably the most historically interesting room in the house. Beneath beautiful stained-glass skylights and beside the family coats of arms of generations of guild members, you dine as in days gone by. On request, contemporary technology brings you back to the present. Thanks to its excellent acoustics, the hall is also ideal for concerts.
