Being Here
Sanssouci Palatina is a house of restoration: a place to be nourished, held, inspired, and gently returned to oneself.
Set within the historic Stiftsgut Keysermühle in Klingenmünster, the house includes 40 guest rooms, four function and retreat rooms of varying sizes, dining and banqueting spaces, a fitness room, treatment rooms, a dedicated womb room, and extensive ornamental, open, and kitchen gardens.
The house is designed for residential stays, retreats, workshops, intimate gatherings, creative residencies, and periods of rest, recovery, creativity, and renewal.
Residential hospitality
Sanssouci Palatina is a full-board retreat hotel. Guests are looked after throughout the day, with meals forming a central part of the rhythm of the house.
The intention is to create an experience where guests do not simply stay overnight, but enter into a complete residential environment: sleeping, eating, moving, resting, gathering, learning, and recovering in one coherent setting.
The house follows a regular daily rhythm, allowing guests to take part as much or as little as they wish. Some may join every practice, meal, walk, conversation, or gathering. Others may choose quiet, privacy, and deep rest. Both are welcome.
Food and dining
Our core dining team prepares generous, nourishing meals from a daily-changing menu. The kitchen is seasonal, full-board, and rooted in the ingredients, wines, and food traditions of the Palatinate.
Guest chefs from around the world will be invited to bring their own perspective to the region’s ingredients and dishes. The programme will include wine tastings, cooking classes, and food-led events.
Wellness, movement, and somatic practice
Yoga and other movement or somatic practices are offered as part of the guest experience, depending on the residential programme and visiting teaching team.
The wellness offer varies according to visiting practitioners, and may also include breathwork, bodywork, meditation, massage, restorative practices, sound baths, creative workshops, and other modalities designed to support rest, embodiment, and renewal.
Our approach is gentle, feminine, and restorative. It is not about discipline, perfection, or performance. It is about listening to the body, softening into presence, and allowing space for repair.
Treatments, gardens, and outdoor life
Treatment rooms support massage, bodywork, and other therapeutic or restorative practices as the wellness programme develops. The emphasis is on care, presence, and embodied wellbeing rather than clinical wellness or performance culture.
The gardens are an important part of the Sanssouci Palatina experience. Guests may spend time outdoors, walk locally, sit quietly in the gardens, or use the landscape as part of their retreat, creative, or restorative practice.
Artists, writers, and creative residents
Sanssouci Palatina welcomes artists, writers, makers, musicians, teachers, and creative practitioners who wish to come for extended periods of rest, work, and exchange.
Where appropriate, reduced residential rates may be offered in return for experience-sharing, teaching, workshops, talks, performances, creative contribution, or other forms of participation in the life of the house.
The intention is to create a living house in which creativity, hospitality, learning, and restoration can meet naturally.
Retreats and gatherings
The four function rooms allow Sanssouci Palatina to host retreats, seminars, workshops, hosted talks, private gatherings, creative residencies, and intimate group events.
The house is particularly suited to residential programmes where accommodation, food, meeting space, movement, and care are held together in one place.
Our community experiences are female-centred in tone and spirit: attentive, nourishing, thoughtful, relational, and rooted in care. We welcome people of all genders, backgrounds, belief systems, and ways of life who come with respect for the house, for one another, and for the restorative purpose of the space.
Sanssouci Palatina is open to resident guests only, with selected public events, dinners, talks, tastings, and classes to be announced separately over time.
These may include guest chef evenings, wine tastings, hosted talks with dinner, cooking classes, yoga sessions, seasonal lunches, and other special events.
