The pavilion of Hesse-Rhinfels

Built on the Annette and Lubin hill, to the north of the city, the Hesse-Rhinsfels pavilion or mountain belvedere replaces a structure built in 1769 thanks to the patronage of the Landgrave of Hesse-Rhinsfels. This first pavilion took the form of a miniature Greek temple set on an artificial mound. The current octagonal brick and limestone structure replaced the original pavilion in 1854, while incorporating some of its architectural elements, including the columns that provide a view of the city below for walkers. The restoration completed in 2002 included, among other things, coating the interior walls with a yellow ochre wash, favored in the 19th century.
Listed as a monument on November 4, 1976.
