Background information
The small town of Berching is located 60 kilometres south of Nuremberg in the heart of the Upper Palatinate Jura. This is where the Engelwirt Apartments are located, a building ensemble consisting of two modern houses and two buildings dating back to 1686. 15 individually designed apartments inspire with an interior design of antiques and contemporary art. Respondsible for the planning of the renovation was the Swiss architectural studio Dimanche by Tamara Henry and Mathieu Robitaille. Sustainability also played an important role for the hosts Stephanie and Michael Zink. The buildings were connected to the district heating system of the town and a CO2-friendly cooling system was installed. The integrated photovoltaic modules on the listed roofs are a first of their kind in Bavaria. Surrounded by woods and meadows, extensive hiking and cycling trails invite you to explore. The Zink art gallery is located in Waldkirchen, ten minutes away by car. The small town of Berching itself delights those interested in culture with a varied programme throughout the year.
