The then archbishop of Cologne, Dr. Karl Joseph Schulte (1871-1941) - Archbishop of Cologne from…read more1920 to 1941 (from 1921 Cardinal of the Diocese) - built the house in the years 1926 to 1929 to the plans of architect Bernhard Rotterdamm in Bensberg as a priestly seminary of the Archbishopric of Cologne. The foundation was laid on June 29, 1926, by Nuncius Pacelli, who later became Pope Pius XII. It also served as an allied forces and war hospital during WWII. This is now a center for learning and assembly as well as a hotel and conference center. I found this hotel when looking for a place to stay and decided to book here. It's located on a large piece of land and it's a huge building just a short distance from the center of town in Bensberg. The rooms are fairly basic but clean and fully renovated in 2014 or 2015. The staff are very friendly and reception was quick to book us in. It's a functional room and has most things you need for a short stay. Prices are reasonable and no credit card is required for booking or check in. Buffet breakfast is included with the room price and they have a 24 hour reception. The breakfast was quite ok and had plenty of options from continental to cooked food. All in all a nice place and I would happily come here again anytime.
