Johannes’ Rooms

Johannes Tiedeman commissioned the most brilliant architects of their time, Cudell & Richardson, in 1864, to build a mansion reminiscent of those North German castles of the region of Süderau and Schleschwig-Holstein that he had seen in his youth, before leaving for America, forever. The Tiedeman family history is shrouded in mystery, with myth and fact so intertwined that the legend begins here. The stately Oak Bedroom has a king-sized bed crowned with a Red Velvet roof, a gothic-style Reading Room [originally Johannes and Louise's private room], a black and white marble bathroom, the Chamber Kitchenette and a view to the rose garden with the carriage house behind the castle, all part of Johannes' Dwelling. It can accommodate up to two guests to stay the night. This room is a powerhouse of energy and activity. Because I understand it may be late before you fall asleep, check-out is at 3 p.m. the next day. -- From $175 per guest/night and a minimum of two guests --
