Hilzingen Castle
In 1615, the purchase of a "stone house" by Zacharias Geizkofler von und zu Gailenbach auf Haunsheim is mentioned. Around 1650, the castle was expanded by the pledge lord Andreas Ziegler from Schaffhausen. Until 1802, the castle was owned by Petershausen Abbey. From 1802 to 1965, the castle was owned by the Margraves, later Grand Dukes, of Baden. In 1965, the municipality of Hilzingen bought the castle, renovated it in 1973, and has used it as a town hall since 1974.
