Small gem with a special flair and creative cuisine right by the mill pond

Our hotel and restaurant "Zur Kloster-Mühle" is located between Hamburg and Bremen, near Sittensen. In the middle of the forest and picturesquely situated by the mill pond, we offer our guests an oasis of relaxation, away from the noise and hustle and bustle of the big city.

The former water mill, powered by the water of the Kuhbach stream, was built 750 years ago and expanded over the years to include a manor house. After operations ceased in 1960, the architect Gerhard Klindworth acquired the historic half-timbered ensemble in 1986 and restored it with great attention to detail. The original character was skillfully combined with modern elements. Where the mill wheel once turned, there is now an architectural office, restaurant, guest house and hotel.

The cuisine is sustainable, creative and seasonal. The menu features regional and Mediterranean dishes. The dining room exudes a modern charm. In summer, the beer garden by the mill pond invites you to dine. The restaurant is also open outside regular opening hours for groups of 20 people or more. Of course, events and celebrations as well as conferences and seminars are also possible, which we organize according to your wishes.

Our guests can also stay overnight in our house. Fourteen stylishly furnished rooms are available for this purpose. The room number reveals which color tone dominates in the rooms. One of the rooms is even equipped with a luxurious whirlpool bathtub right next to the bed, a private sauna and a massage shower. There are therefore no fixed breakfast times. After a restful night, guests can enjoy a delicious breakfast with a view of the greenery or simply right next to the mill pond. A blessing for stressed souls!
