The Zillbach hunting lodge, a former building of the Grand Dukes of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, impressively characterizes the village.

The hunting lodge was built from a former glassworks and was completed in 1595. It initially belonged to the County of Henneberg, and later to the Duke of Saxony-Eisenach. The first residents settled in front of the castle in 1693, and founded the town of Zillbach. The most famous Zillbacher was Heinrich Cotta, who was born in a nearby forester's house and ran a forestry institute in the castle. Cotta is considered the founder of modern forestry science. When we read about things like "forest conversion" today, it is due to his research and teachings. The "coastal forest" did not exist before either. So today's sustainable management of the forests can be traced back to his teachings.
