The property originally belonged to a former monastery estate of the Enkenbach monastery from the 13th century. From the middle of the 18th century, the property came into the possession of the Electorate of the Palatinate civil servants family von Busch. Today it is used as the town hall of Freinsheim.

On March 27th, 2024 we were able to see the head of a stork while we were sitting on a bench below. According to NABU, the breeding season is from April to August; both parents incubate for 32-33 days. Exciting thing!

Don't just walk the city wall path, but also walk through the old town. Here, like here, you can discover this inner courtyard.
