Hotel Fronfeste "Rast im Knast"
Amberg, Germany, Germany
Hotel Fronfeste "Rast im Knast" is a unique themed hotel in Amberg, Germany, converted from a historic 17th-century prison integrated into the town's medieval fortifications.
It operated as a courthouse, torture chamber, and execution site until the late 1950s—with the last execution in 1935—before being meticulously restored over six years and opening as a hotel in 2013, preserving original cells, barred windows, corridors, and atmosphere.
Guests stay in authentic single/double cells or themed suites like the chapel, doctor's room, or guard's quarters, complete with modern comforts, a rich breakfast buffet, and optional guided tours of its 300-year history.
