Welcome Hotel
Schloss Lehen

Bad Friedrichshall, known as the “City of Salt,” offers travellers a unique and charming destination. Visitors can delve into the region’s rich history by exploring the only public salt mine in Baden-Württemberg. However, what truly sets Bad Friedrichshall apart is its status as Germany's only three-river salt town, where the Kocher and Jagst rivers merge with the Neckar, creating a spectacular landscape as unique as the salt mine itself.

Centrally located in Bad Friedrichshall, our historic hotel offers an enchanting stay in what was once a 16th-century Renaissance castle. With individually designed rooms, this boutique hotel is nestled within serene castle gardens along the banks of the river Kocher, making it a hidden gem for nature lovers and those seeking tranquillity.


Thanks to its convenient location near Neckarsulm, Heilbronn, Stuttgart, Würzburg, Mannheim, and Nuremberg are easily accessible. Our hotel is also well-suited for business meetings and events. We offer three conference rooms and a modern, light-filled winter garden that opens directly onto the idyllic castle gardens. Whether you’re staying for business or leisure, the historic elegance of the hotel, combined with its distinctive design and scenic surroundings, promises a memorable stay for all guests.
