Diary
Notes from the house, kitchen, gardens, and road to reopening.
Sanssouci Palatina is being brought back to life slowly, carefully, and with many hands. Here we share small notes from the historic Stiftsgut Keysermühle: food from the kitchen, work in the gardens, before-and-after glimpses, local walks, recipes, retreat ideas, and the everyday process of becoming a place of rest, retreat, and renewal.
Latest from the House

What We Write About
Our Diary follows the life of the house as it becomes a place for retreat, food, gardens, creative work, healing plants, and community.
House Notes
Rooms, old stone, restoration, before-and-after glimpses, and the practical work of bringing the Stiftsgut Keysermühle back into use.
Kitchen Diary
Seasonal food, recipes, preserves, menus, shared tables, and the slow formation of a nourishing full-board retreat kitchen.
Garden & Land
Herbs, flowers, kitchen beds, forest edges, vineyard walks, weather, planting, harvesting, and the rhythms of the Southern Wine Route.
Apothecary
Medicinal herbs, teas, tinctures, plant lore, kitchen remedies, seasonal preparations, and the gentle wisdom of the apothecary garden.
Retreat & Renewal
Thoughts on retreat culture, creative residencies, bodywork, rest, residential hospitality, and the daily rhythm of being here.
Community
Guests, helpers, volunteers, teachers, cooks, gardeners, local friends, and the people who are becoming part of the house.
A House Coming Back to Life
Some people will come here as guests. Others will come to create: artists, teachers, cooks, gardeners. And others will join us in building community: volunteers, neighbours, and friends of the house.
The Diary is where we begin to show the work, care, food, beauty, and the community taking shape around Sanssouci Palatina.
