Tea house (Bad Säckingen)
The tea house in Bad Säckingen is a small garden pavilion ( tea house ) in the park of the former Schönau Palace .
It was built around 1720 (the years 1714 to 1722 are possible) as part of the complex around Schönau Castle. The client for the pavilion was Baron Johann Franz Josef Otto von Schönau-Oeschgen, who had the entire baroque complex completed with a garden in the French style. Above the entrance to the tea house there 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 pictures for the Fridolin Minster in Bad Säckingen in 1715/16 and 1721/22 . They represent themes from ancient mythology . Joseph Victor von Scheffel still described the frescoes, then they were whitewashed and only exposed in 1948/49 by Gustav Henselmann .
In the summer months, the tea house houses the castle park café with terrace.
