The "Billet'sche Schlösschen" is a two-storey, classicist pavilion building, named after Anton Billet, salt supplier to the imperial city of Offenburg and, from 1800, the city council's mayor. Built before 1800, with its landscaped garden to the east and the English park to the north, it formed a magnificent property outside the city gates.

In the 11th/12th century, the Zähringers built a castle on this site to protect the Kinzig Valley. In the 15th century, the castle was expanded to include defense towers. At the end of the 17th century, the castle was destroyed twice. In the 18th century, the current castle was built in the English style on the ruins of the old castle. Today, there is a youth hostel and a wine-producing farm here.

A court linden tree was a single, very old tree near the town. This was where the Thing, a council meeting, was held, where justice was also dispensed.

Great place and directly connected to the Offenburg Bürgerpark :)

Beautifully integrated into the park.
