Domaine Imodis hosts seminars, conferences, product launches, Christmas parties and weddings for up to 120 seated guests or 200 for a cocktail reception. It has three rooms of 80 to 185 square meters, each with its own catering area, plus a courtyard, a covered pergola and a garden. The estate is a former 18th-century farmstead at 3 rue du Châtelet in Saessolsheim, in the Bas-Rhin department of Alsace.
Seminars and company events
The estate rents its rooms or the whole site to companies for seminars, team building, workshops, art openings, conferences, product launches and year-end parties. Daytime hire runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and evening hire from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. The team sets up the rooms in the layout you ask for, serves and clears afterwards, and lends a projector, screens, tables, chairs, microphones, sound equipment and flip charts.
For meals, the estate works with the caterer Maïdo by Carl and offers packages for companies: individual lunch boxes, a standing lunch, a seated lunch and two barbecue formats, with drinks packages on top. Every package includes a welcome coffee and an all-day break with water and hot drinks. The team can also suggest outside suppliers.
Weddings and receptions
Domaine Imodis takes weddings, civil ceremonies held outdoors, and family celebrations. It gives a capacity of 200 guests for the cocktail and 120 for the seated dinner, or 120 adults and 30 children across two rooms. Music stops at 4 a.m. and doors close at 5 a.m. Saturdays from April to October are sold only as full hire of the estate; at other times, several events can run at once. Couples can use the reference caterers or bring their own, subject to approval, and can choose full planning support or organize the day themselves.
Rooms and capacities
The Salle Anna Maria is the largest room: 185 square meters, 120 seated or 12 round tables, 160 standing. It opens directly onto the courtyard, has built-in ceiling speakers, two Bluetooth microphones, a mixing desk, a projector and screen, and a covered pergola outside.
The Caveau, in the vaulted cellar, covers 130 square meters and seats 70, with up to 120 guests in total. It has its own bar, dedicated lighting, lounge seating and a flat screen for presentations.
The Salle Cathédrale sits under the main roof frame. It covers 80 square meters, seats 60 and holds up to 80, with a projector, screen and flip chart.
All three rooms can work independently. Outside, there is a garden with fruit trees, a large courtyard for welcoming guests, the pergola and 40 parking spaces on site. The building meets current accessibility standards.
Accommodation
There is no accommodation on site yet; rooms are listed as a future project. The estate sends a list of partner hotels in the village and nearby, and of bus and van companies for guest transport.
Catering
Food is provided by the partner caterer for company packages, and by reference caterers for weddings. The estate also runs its own restaurant in the vaulted cellar, open on set dates and for group bookings from 15 people.
History and setting
The farmstead, known locally in Alsatian dialect as s'Hàrtzjerje hoft, was one of the largest farm complexes in Alsace and once employed about ten farm hands. SAS Imodis was set up in August 2019 by ten friends and siblings to buy the ruin, and they carried out more than 80 percent of the restoration themselves over five years. The buildings combine Alsatian timber framing and Vosges sandstone with large glazed bays and contemporary lighting. The main house keeps two cast-iron stoves, one dated 1895, and a solid oak staircase.
Getting there
Saessolsheim lies in the Kochersberg and Pays de Saverne area, northwest of Strasbourg. Guests usually arrive by car; the estate has 40 parking spaces and can recommend transport companies for groups.
