Stop off at the Gasthaus Zur historischen Mühle A restaurant surrounded by history

Not far from Sanssouci Palace, nestled between royal history and picturesque gardens, our inn Zur historischen Mühle welcomes you with timeless warmth.

Since 1908, the ensemble has shaped Potsdam's gastronomic image - once built at the behest of Kaiser Wilhelm II, lovingly restored and carefully extended architecturally. Today, the house combines a historic atmosphere with stylish cuisine and is a popular meeting place for walkers, palace visitors, families and groups of friends.

Whether an extended breakfast in the morning, a fine lunch in the Palm House or a festive reception in a private setting - here you will find space for good conversation, special hours and the little pleasures of life.

Our guesthouse in Potsdam seats around 240 people and is an ideal venue for breakfast, coffee & cake, groups, lunches, receptions, weddings, business lunches and private and business celebrations of all kinds.
