Hotel Schiff Am See

Hotel Schiff Am See has welcomed guests since 1272. In 1555, the landlord of the 'manorial existing inn ' was Sigmund Märk, who also cultivated a vineyard in Allmannsdorf. The 'stately existing inn ' later came into the possession of Joseph Weber. Windows crafted by Constance glass painters Lütz and Elmpt can be found in the bar on the ground floor.

“Its direct access to Lake Constance certainly stands out. As the oldest inn in Germany, the property has historical charm, though some may find it dated. The proximity to Mainau Island and local transport passes add practical value for exploring the area.”
