The HAUS AM MARKTPLATZ 5
The “Haus Am Marktplatz 5” was built in the 16th century.
The former cloth house, on the site of today’s town hall, had to be demolished in favor of a representative administrative building, and a beautiful new building was erected a few meters away. In the arcades of the town hall, the dyed cloth of the dye house was offered for sale, but the craft of dyeing cloth no longer lasted, the import became more and more prevalent, which had the consequence that the building could no longer be used as a dye house.
A new idea
was born.
In 1689, the mighty building now served as a residential house. Many years later, it was first used as an inn around 1800.
Only three years later, the house was used again as a dye house until 1823 and remained successfully in operation among a few generations.
It was not until 1985 that the Behringer family renovated the building extensively and converted the house into a hotel with inn. Today, the “Haus am Marktplatz 5” is a listed building in the old town of the Lower Franconian town of Volkach.
