Zum Roten Bären, Germany
The historical credentials of this homely inn, lie in its cellar. Here, the rustic stone arches that form part of the foundations are thought to date back to around the year 1000, significantly before Freiberg was founded in 1120. During its time as a hotel, Zum Roten Bären has chalked up over 50 innkeepers and survived various conflicts, including the Thirty Years’ War, fought around Europe from 1618 to 1648.
