A small wink
Bought in 1958 this old
farm was restored during this half century by the Count and the Countess de Wellenstein who knew to make of it a house of
welcome and meeting in the
purest style of conviviality and love.
Their son Stephan and Julia
his wife have added their contribution and made possible today for this
residence to live again through its “rooms for hosts” and by opening its doors,
its
spaces so that a fresh air can pass through this house and transport messages
which will give again life within its heart.
