Schloss Ebnet

Around 1348, a knight Schnewlin von Landeck, a member of an influential family in Breisgau, is referred to as the lord of Ebnet.

The grandson of Grand Duke Charles sold it in 1811[2][1] to the barons of Gayling von Altheim, who still live in it today.

[3] The mansion was built from 1748 onwards by order of Baron Ferdinand Sebastian von Sickingen-Hohenburg according to a design by the architect Johann Jacob Fechter from Basel because the previous building no longer met the client's requirements.

After Gamb's death, the ceiling painting of the magnificent staircase was created by Johann Pfunner (*around 1713/16 - †1788), who came from Tyrol and lived in Freiburg.

It shows Hilarius and the second patron saint of the church, St. Remigius, as they lower God's gifts of grace onto Ebnet, whose local view angel children unroll.

The later Minister of Culture of Bavaria, Hans Maier, also spent the bombing night of November 27, 1944 in the cellar of Ebnet castle.

The Theodor Egel Hall, which now serves as a rehearsal room for the Freiburg Bach Choir, was built in the castle park in place of a coach house.

The castle complex belongs to the "Hôtel entre Cour et Jardin" type - palace between courtyard and garden.

A projecting central gable is adorned with the family's magnificent coat of arms and is further emphasized by the balcony and the double flight of steps.

After the castle kitchen was moved back into the main building, the chapel was renovated and used as a place of worship by the Dreisamtal Protestant community from 1958.
