Hotel & Restaurant Schwarzer Bock ****

This organic hotel had already been over 300 years old, when the mysterious incidents around the young Kaspar Hauser occured in Ansbach in 1833.

An originally preserved tavern from the 15th century, located in the centre of the action between residence, former margravial office and court church. Prince Luitpold of Bavaria had been a guest in one of the rooms at some point; another room served as an official officer's mess for the Ansbach Ulanen. Every room tells its very own story and is, however, obligated to modernity when it comes to furniture. Whether it is the Ansbach sausage, the famous "Schäuferla" or a fine dinner menu - the landlords and slow-food supporters serve regionally certified dishes from their home countrys Franconia and the Palatinate region.

Within only a few steps you can visit the Margravial Residence and the church of St. Gumbertus with its margravial tomb, pay a visit to the Margrave Museum with its impressive section about Kaspar Hauser, admire the difference of the baroque synagogue and classicist church of St. Ludwig, and stroll through the thriving courtyard garden during summer.
