The boundaries of the Ketschauer Hof estate were first documented in the mid-14th century, when the noble Engga\u00df family moved its seat to Deidesheim. Anna von Engga\u00df fell in love and married Johann <b>Schliederer von Lachen<\/b>, and two relics from the Schliederer era are literally carved in stone and can still be admired today: a stone plaque commemorating Arnold Schliederer von Lachen, located beside the terrace of our Restaurant 1718, and a sandstone inlay <span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); color: var( --e-global-color-7008714 );\">bearing the Schliederer coat of arms <\/span><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); color: var( --e-global-color-7008714 );\">on <\/span> <span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); color: var( --e-global-color-7008714 );\">the left side <\/span><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); color: var( --e-global-color-7008714 );\">of the estate\u2019s south gate. <\/span>   <\/p><p>The estate was severely damaged during the Thirty Years&#8217; War (1618-1648) and later by French troops during the War of the Palatinate Succession (1688-1697). Reconstruction took a long time and the property finally passed to the <b>barons of Ketschau<\/b> in 1716 after family disputes. They had the present manor house rebuilt   <span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); color: var( --e-global-color-7008714 );\">in the years 1770-1772 by the Electoral Palatinate court architect <b>Franz Rabaliatti<\/b> in the simple, elegant Baroque style. Elector Karl Theodor from the Palatinate and his wife as well as the Prince-Bishop of Speyer attended the inauguration celebrations in Deidesheim. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); color: var( --e-global-color-7008714 );\">The French Revolution (1789\u20131799) also left its mark on the Ketschauer Hof; the estate was severely damaged on several occasions, and the remains passed into the ownership of the Deidesheim winemaker <b>Andreas Jordan ( <\/b>1775\u20131848) in 1815; his father, Peter Jordan from Savoy, had immigrated to the Palatinate and was already documented as a vineyard owner in Deidesheim as early as <b>1718<\/b>. Andreas Jordan undertook the reconstruction of the estate and had it rebuilt according to the old floor plans. The driveway for wagons and the entrance to the manor house were moved to the north, directly across from today\u2019s Geheimer Rat Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan winery.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); color: var( --e-global-color-7008714 );\">In 1849, the stately manor house was remodelled and extended by the Koblenz architect Hermann Nebel. This architectural appearance seems to have been lovingly preserved and carefully &#8220;frozen&#8221; to this day. <\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-7008714 ); text-align: var(--text-align);\">.

After extensive restoration and remodelling work, based on old records,  <br><strong>The gourmet restaurant L.A. Jordan ( <\/strong>awarded 3 Michelin stars** since June 2026) and the <strong>restaurant 1718<\/strong> opened; this was followed in 2009 by the<\/span><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); color: var( --e-global-color-7008714 );\">  Opening of <strong>the luxurious boutique hotel<\/strong>.
