Originally commissioned by Count von Schwerin as a gorgeous castle for his fiancé Margarethe von Heinitz in 1914, Heinitzburg is today, home to a lovely hotel. It is situated on a hill, with sweeping views across Windhoek and the surrounding mountains.

Hotel Heinitzburg has an extraordinary continental touch in a friendly African setting, with excellent European cuisine and a world–class wine cellar. The restaurant “Leo’s at the Castle”, offers spectacular views of the city night–lights, the highest standards of services, refinement and of course delightful gourmet food.

Gracious living at the castle is expressed in delicate crystal glassware, polished silverware, fine linen and luxurious touches like freshly cut roses and four–poster beds in the 16 tastefully decorated and spacious en–suite rooms. Your host, Beate Raith, pays wonderful attention to detail and your visit to Windhoek will be made so much more memorable by the Hotel Heinitzburg experience.
