About the Ambassade
Nelson Müller’s Diepeschrather Mühle, a Relais & Châteaux property just outside Cologne, offers a serene escape in the rolling landscape of the Bergisches Land. Surrounded by nature, it is a place for reflection, celebration, and meaningful gatherings – from intimate dinners to weddings and private events. At its heart is the newly reimagined Schote, where Nelson Müller and his team bring a distinctive culinary spirit to life. Here, regional and seasonal ingredients form the foundation of expressive, modern menus that reflect a thoughtful and joyful approach to dining.
