Ehem. Gasthof zum Hirschen
Hauptstraße 35 (18. Jahrhundert)
Der einstige Gasthof zum Hirschen, um 1847 als Gasthaus Jägershof mit Brau- und Gastrecht bezeichnet, reicht in das frühe 18. Jahrhundert zurück.
Der stattlich angelegte, siebenachsige Traufseitbau zeigt das zeittypische Gepräge einer Bauwelle nach 1725, die dem Bau des Schlosses in Burgwindheim folgte. Charakteristisch für die barockzeitliche Gestaltung sind neben dem verputzten (konstruktivem) Fachwerk die strenge Achsenbildung durch geohrte Natursteinfenstergewände, die Gliederung durch Kanten- lisenen und ein Stockwerksgesims, sowie das steile Vollwalmdach mit kräftig profilierten Traufgesimsen.
Um 1847 hieß das Gasthaus „Jägershof”.
Es hatte ein Brau- und Gastrecht.
Der geschmiedete Ausleger zeigte einst einen Hirschen.
Das Gebäude zeigt für die Barockzeit typische Ausgestaltungen.
Das im 20. Jh. zwischenzeitlich freigelegte Fachwerk wurde aus Gründen des Erhaltes des ortstypischen Barockstils wieder verputzt.

The stately, seven-axis eaves side building exhibits the typical character of a construction wave after 1725, which followed the construction of the castle in Burgwindheim. Characteristic of the Baroque design are, in addition to the plastered (structural) half-timbering, the strict axial formation of the drilled natural stone window surrounds, the structural design by edge pilasters and a storey cornice, as well as the steep hipped roof with strongly profiled eaves cornices.
Around 1847, the inn was called "Jägershof."
It had brewing and hospitality rights.
The wrought iron cantilever once depicted a stag.
The building features typical Baroque decorations.
The half-timbered structure, which was temporarily exposed in the 20th century, was re-plastered to preserve the local Baroque style.
