Meeting Rooms for your Sustainable Event
Each of the conference and event rooms at Gut Sonnenhausen offers its own special atmosphere. However, they all have one thing in common: selected works of art create an inspiring atmosphere and a connection to nature. Be it through the adjacent monastery garden, the meadows around the former stud farm, or through a balcony and large windows with a view of the greenery.
More than a Meeting: Sustainable Activities for your Conference Experience
At some point in every meeting, no matter how exciting the topic, people’s heads start to spin, and their motivation wanes. The only remedy is to get out and do something else. It’s where new ideas are born.
Sustainable Accommodation at Gut Sonnehausen
Gut Sonnenhausen is the perfect place for events, workshops, or retreats for several days. Both the manor house and the historic farmhouse have lovingly decorated rooms. Hand-selected contemporary artwork and attention to detail will be found throughout.
History and Philosophy
The former stud farm, built in the English style by Munich architect Wilhelm Spannagel, is over 120 years old. Its history and that of the adjacent riding arena, designed by Friedrich von Thiersch, dates back to the beginning of the 20th century.
“You can think well in the middle of a nature reserve and you can network excellently over fresh organic cuisine and selected works of art in all rooms.” Georg Schweisfurth
Green Initiatives
Gut Sonnenhausen is committed to the environment and people alike. This means that your event will not only be extraordinary and full of experiences but will also take place with a clear conscience and in harmony with nature.
