This fortified church located in a river valley in the Baden-Württemberg countryside is on the market for just under €950,000. The home is the first to be featured in The Local’s Property of the Week series.
The converted church - St. Anna in the Rose Garden - nestles in the picturesque Neckar Valley near Heidelberg and the Rhine.
Built in the 12th Century, it once served as a seat for the Swabian dynasty of south-western Germany.
The tower, inlaid Italian marble flooring and original stained-glass windows have been carefully preserved.
CLICK HERE for a tour of the house.
The attic features beautiful oak beams, the vaulted cellar - complete with a well - has a shiny dolomite floor and the tower’s spiral staircase is made of sandstone.
Even the bathroom taps are worth a look.
Check out the latest home and rental listings in The Local’s Property Section.
Property of the Week is in partnership with Engel & Völkers.
