# Gourmet experience in the Mammertsberg by Relais & Châteaux

> Relais & Châteaux Mammertsberg is a historic manor house on the shore of Lake Constance in Thurgau, Switzerland, offering Michelin-starred cuisine (17 Gault-Millau points, 1 Michelin star) by chef August Minikus and expert wine pairing by sommelière Luisa Minikus in a beautifully renovated century-old estate.

## Destination
Relais & Châteaux Mammertsberg, Bahnhofstrasse 28, 9306 Freidorf, Canton Thurgau, Switzerland, overlooking Lake Constance and the Appenzeller Alps.

## Why visit
A rare combination of Michelin-starred creative cuisine, world-class wine pairing, stunning Lake Constance panoramas, and intimate hospitality in a lovingly renovated historic manor house.

## What to see
- **Panoramic views of Lake Constance and Appenzeller Alps** — The estate commands views of the lake, surrounding apple orchards, rape fields, and distant Alps.
- **Architecture by Tilla Theus** — The 100-year-old manor was sensitively renovated and expanded in 2013 by star architect Tilla Theus, featuring filigree style elements and a modern addition.
- **Extravagant circular staircase** — A dramatic winding staircase connects the restaurant to the upstairs lounge gallery, serving as a striking architectural centrepiece.
- **Wine cellar** — Houses a curated selection including Clos d'Agon, overseen by sommelière Luisa Minikus.

## What to do
- **Gourmet tasting dinner** — Multi-course Michelin-starred menu by August Minikus, with dishes conceived first as sketches and plated as three-dimensional works of art.
- **Wine pairing experience** — Luisa Minikus personally stages and explains each wine pairing throughout the meal.
- **Stay in one of six guest rooms** — Three double rooms and three suites in the historic main building, each with views of the Alps, Lake Constance, or the Thurgau hills.

## Good to know
Junior chef Yannick Hollenstein, a world champion with the Swiss Junior Chefs team and former top apprentice under August Minikus, also creates in the kitchen. The property is a member of the global Relais & Châteaux collection, headquartered in Paris.
