Pleasure in idyllic Dagobertshausen

Waldschlösschen

Just a few minutes northeast of Marburg, in the idyllic Dagobertshausen, lies our restaurant Waldschlösschen. Enjoy the unobstructed view of the landscape while being inspired by a creative kitchen. With regional and seasonally changing products, some of which come from the neighboring Hofgut Dagobertshausen, our kitchen team brings fresh and exclusive dishes to the table daily. The top priority is always: The taste of our guests!

The Waldschlösschen is a piece of home for me. We cook with much that grows here in the neighboring fields of Hofgut Dagobertshausen and work with people who share the same passion. Our goal is simple: honest cuisine that touches – with earth, heart, and a pinch of creativity.

History of our Waldschlösschen in Dagobertshausen

We are often asked if our Waldschlösschen has always been a tavern. Therefore, we have prepared the most important and exciting backgrounds of the house for you. And so much in advance: Our Waldschlösschen was not always the tavern you know today.
