SG
Where to Stay?
While additional guest accommodations are planned at the SG Arts Centre and Schloss Mentin, these are still under development. Currently, our on-site lodging is reserved for artists participating in our programs. Until the new facilities are completed, we recommend that visitors traveling from outside the Ruhner Berge and surrounding region use nearby local accommodations. Below are some of our suggestions.

Local Holiday Homes


If you're visiting the centre and need a place to stay overnight, vacation rentals are your best bet for comfort, authenticity, and proximity. The closest option is Ferienhaus Mentin, just 150 meters from the centre, right in the village of Mentin. Another excellent choice is Landwirtschaft Carola Leu, a family-run farm about 4.8 km away in Marnitz, the main village of the Ruhner Berge.  You’ll also find more options in nearby villages, offered by local hosts and listed on platforms like Airbnb.
