Large, lovingly renovated half-timbered house with sauna & garden

The Faktorenhaus C.W. Henke is a listed Umgebindehaus full of history and atmosphere. It has been carefully restored with great respect for the original structure: original 1930s wallpapers, Jugendstil tiled stoves, historic box windows, hand‑made roof tiles, wide wooden floorboards, ornate brass door handles and the traditional Rietschel shutters all remain intact. This authentic historic character is complemented by modern art, high‑quality furnishings and plenty of space for spending time together. The entire house is always rented as a whole and offers 260 m² of living space for up to 11 guests – ideal for families and groups who appreciate aesthetics, heritage and comfort.

The former merchant’s house of cloth trader Carl Wilhelm Henke stood hidden in the garden for many years before we restored it according to monument protection standards. Today, it feels like a small walk through regional architectural history from the Baroque period to modern times. At the same time, the house offers a modern and exceptionally well‑equipped kitchen with everything needed for cooking together, including a 90 cm SMEG oven, KitchenAid, professional knives, Moccamaster and milk frother. A large dining table provides space for everyone. Art and antiques from around the world, a spinet and plenty of toys for children make the house a very personal and welcoming place. In winter, the sauna in the large vaulted room invites you to relax, while in summer the spacious garden with seating, barbecue, fire bowl, climbing tree and sandbox becomes an outdoor living room.

The house includes, on the ground floor, an apartment in the former block room with a double bed, bathtub, Jugendstil tiled stove and original 1930s wallpapers, as well as a small vaulted room with a double bed and the sauna. The upper floor offers a large holiday apartment with one large and two smaller bedrooms, a dining room with tiled stove, a living room with library, kitchen, bathroom and separate guest toilet. The garden in front of the house is available for your exclusive use. The entire property is always rented as one unit, so you can enjoy all rooms privately.

For families, we provide two highchairs and a baby highchair, two additional children’s beds (a wooden cot 70x140 cm and a travel cot 60x120 cm) as well as plenty of toys.

We place great value on regional products. Towels and curtains come from Leinen Hoffmann in Neukirch, the pressed linen bedding from Spreetex in Neusalza‑Spremberg, the glassware from Stölzle in Weißwasser and the tableware from Kahla. Many pieces of furniture are originals from Hellerau or Wehrsdorf, complemented by artworks from local artists and finds from around the world.
