"Am I in a castle here?" you may ask yourself as you enter our Ritter House and your gaze wanders from the genuine crystal chandeliers to pieces of Louis Phillipe furniture to the historic oil paintings. In fact, many things are reminiscent of a castle and the people who lived here in the past. They were people of distinction.
A plaque on the outside facade looks back on the eventful history of our house:
