A long history…..

The history of this property with its gorgeous views goes back almost 130 years. Originally it was built as a 3story building and was used for several purposes. It served as a home, a general store, a Hotel as well as the post office of Starkenburg. Visitors to the Starkenburg Shrine and Church could count on a place to stay and young men studying at the Church could find room and board here. There was even a hall attached to the building where dances and gatherings took place. Almost 130 years later, Les Lavandes B&B is bringing back most of its original functions, now also offering a place for GARDEN WEDDINGS.
