Host

The long cherished dream of owning a hotel came true on the 1st of March 2009, we are the hosts of the Bären Dürrenroth. Our goal: Everyone is welcome to feel comfortable and to absorb the cosy atmosphere, which is not only characteristic for the place since hundreds of years but is still alive and noticeable on the whole premises.

History

The Bären in Dürrenroth was built in 1752 to replace a tavern that had stood there since the 16th century. The imposing wood post-and-beam construction with steep hipped roof and the parsonage and church form a notable ensemble of national importance in the townscape.

The façades covered with wood shingles and painted with oil paint are made to look like a stone building along with their segmental arch windows and artistically designed Late-Baroque-style pilaster strips. The wrought iron inn sign with its imposing hook (1752) is remarkable. The large Belle Époque banquet hall in the addition at the back is unique among country inns. In 1998, the building was skillfully restored in cooperation with the historic preservation office. In 2000, the Bären restaurant was named Historic Restaurant of the Year. Across the street stands the former Kreuz, a Late-Baroque wood post-and-beam construction with a splendid mansard-hipped roof. This half-timbered building with its wooden corner pilaster strips and imitation joints also looks like a sandstone building - considered a sign of wealth at the time. Like the Bären, the new Kreuz of 1806 replaced an older tavern from the 16th century. A kind of cloisters within the building, Kreuzgang in German, gave the hotel its name and is also worth a visit. It is closed off by four identical oak doors to the north, south, west and east, with the north-south axis oriented straight towards the main entrance of the church. The Kreuz was completely renovated in 2000/01 with support of the historic preservation office. The Land­gasthof Bären (with the Kreuz) has been a member of Swiss Historic Hotels since 2009. From the stagecoach period until the opening of the railway line in 1908, the two inns were important horse-changing stations on the Lucerne-Bern line. The coaches were even able to drive right into the 1820 'Kreuzstock' building to unload passengers. The stables are part of the guest house that belongs to the Bären.

Gastronomy

Our Chief is as committed to tradition as he is to the region. He knows that good things are often very close at hand, but he does not close himselves off to the diversity that makes cooking a never-ending story. Regionality, seasonality and a pinch of creativity and modernity should be tasty and enjoyable for you. All this makes your stay here in the "Bären" a culinary experience - just in keeping with the triad of hospitality, enjoyment and history.
