This is the Domdechaney or the Domherrenhof (deanery) in Hochheim am Main. It’s part of a charming old town in the middle of the wine growing district of the Rheingau. It has a historic centre that’s worth visiting. Queen Victoria did in 1845, she called the wine she drank here “hock” and that became a synonym for Rhine wine in the UK ever since.
