Schwarzenstein Castle: Between vineyards and elegance

High above Johannisberg towers Schwarzenstein Castle – a magnificent retreat that combines tradition and contemporary luxury. Built in 1873 by banker Peter Arnold Mumm, the castle was erected as a symbol of his wine and sparkling wine dynasty – in the shadow of the legendary comet vintage that gave this place its historical significance.
After decades of eventful history, the castle was brought back to life in 2004. Since then, it has been a Relais & Châteaux hotel with around 51 rooms and suites – spread across the historic castle building, an elegant park residence, and the stylish guesthouse.
