I discovered Northern Alsace during short breaks from my working life and fell under its spell. As a landscape designer, I'm particularly drawn to its calm, authentic environment. Here, nothing is overdone, nothing is staged, everything is real. Over time, I started to make more and more weekend trips here. Today, I live and work in the heart of this unique region, surrounded by warm, genuine people and a natural environment that could hardly be more inspiring for my creative work. The Maison Forestière Fischeracker has become a favourite place, a retreat that embodies exactly what I love about this region: peace, space and authenticity.
This half-timbered manor house dates back to 1870 and is located in the heart of the Vosges du Nord Regional Nature Park. It is located in a sunny clearing, surrounded by old trees, meadows and a preserved sandstone wall. The quiet, secluded location, in the midst of this natural environment, creates a retreat of rare beauty. With its château-like appearance and typical Alsatian character, the house exudes a special warmth and elegance. Inside, the rooms are flooded with light, with wooden floors and fine parquet that creaks underfoot. The red regional sandstone that gives the house its character is also found in the historic wall that surrounds the vast grounds.
Built around 1870 by Baron Domenque de Dietrich, the house, hidden between gentle hills, fragrant mixed forests, vast meadows and a crystal-clear lake, is a carefully preserved former hunting and forestry lodge. After being damaged during the Second World War, it was restored in 1954 and subsequently became the hunting lodge and retreat of Princess Claude of France. In 2013, the house became an integral part of the Jaegerthal estate. We have transformed this place full of character and timeless beauty steeped in history, into a guest house that we have furnished with art and a palpable historical flair.
It is a retreat full of calm and inspiration, an authentic and touching refuge, the perfect place for anyone seeking authenticity. The surrounding area is a paradise for nature lovers, food lovers and those keen to discover new things. Here, there's no need for special activities; the real rest is to be found outdoors: walking through tranquil forests, cycling along clear streams or picnicking with views of lush green meadows. Inside, the light and airy rooms, furnished with antiques and works of art from our private collection, give the house its special charm: radiant, refined and welcoming.
There are hiking trails that start right outside the door. Cycling and horse-riding trails wind through shady valleys, and golf enthusiasts will find one of the finest courses in the region in Bitche. Culture lovers will be enchanted by castles such as Fleckenstein and the historic towns of Wissembourg, Saverne and Niederbronn. Art lovers will find inspiration at the Lalique Museum or the Frieder Burda Museum in Baden-Baden. When it comes to food, Alsace du Nord is at its best, with Michelin-starred cuisine at the "Villa René Lalique” in Wingen-sur-Moder and the “Cheval Blanc" in Lembach. Those who prefer privacy can enjoy the cuisine of a top regional chef or a talented fellow traveller at the Maison Forestière.
On the ground floor, the house has a spacious entrance hall leading into a large room comprising a dining room and lounge with an open fireplace, a reading area, a fitted kitchen and a toilet. The first floor has three double bedrooms, one single bedroom and two bathrooms.
