Eberbacher Hof Manor

The origins of the Eberbacher Hof date back to the Middle Ages, when it was known as Kappel- or Kapellenhof and owned by Knight Siegfried von Hattenheim. The name suggests a possible St. Nicholas Chapel on the premises. In 1292, the knight's heirs transferred the estate, including vineyards and tithe rights, to the Eberbach Monastery, giving it its current name. Between 1705 and 1708, the current building was constructed under Abbot Michael Schnock and renovated in 1757. Following secularization in 1803, the estate passed to Duke Friedrich August von Nassau before being sold to Karl Maximilian von Ostein and becoming part of Palais Ostein. In the early 19th century, the parents of architect Philipp Hoffmann acquired the property, which served as a post office in 1876. Since 1969, the Eberbacher Hof has been integrated into the St. Ursula School.
