Overview
- A broken shower in an unoccupied attic guest room sent large volumes of water into historic walls and ceilings, according to co-owner Johannes Rabl.
- The damage totals several hundred thousand euros by the owners’ estimate.
- Repair work is underway and is expected to be completed by the end of September 2025.
- Rabl says the use of solid wood in the renovation limits water absorption compared with veneer materials.
- The guesthouse reopened about a year ago after a roughly six‑million‑euro restoration under strict monument and fire‑safety rules, a project led by Rabl with partner Manuel Neuer and architect Paul Schwarzenberger that later won a local preservation award.
