Teehäuschen, Bad Säckingen

The little tea house in Bad Säckingen is a small garden pavilion in the park of the former Schönau Castle.

It was built around 1720 as part of the complex around Schönau Castle. The pavilion was commissioned by Baron Johann Franz Josef Otto von Schönau-Oeschgen, who had the entire Baroque complex completed with a French-style garden. Above the entrance to the tea house is a variant of the coat of arms of the Lords of Schönau-Oeschgen.

The frescoes on the ceiling are by the Ticino painter Francesco Antonio Giorgioli, who created paintings for the Fridolinsmünster in Bad Säckingen in 1715/16 and 1721/22. They depict themes of ancient mythology. Joseph Victor von Scheffel still described the frescoes, after which they were whitewashed and only uncovered in 1948/49 by Gustav Henselmann.

The tea house houses the Castle Park Café with terrace during the summer months.
