The Red House was built around 1760 as a residential and business house by the cloth maker and businessman, Johann Heinrich Scheibler. Even today, it reflects the lustre of large-scale, upper middle-class living in a rare unity with its complete furnishings in the Rococo, Louis XVI and Empire styles.
The Lourdes Grotto is located in the community of Beilingen. It was built in 1909 on the initiative of Mr Nikolaus Bonertz. Throughout the year the grotto is visited by many believers and pilgrims. At the beginning of october there is an annual light procession to the Lourdes Grotto. Inside and outside the grotto is covered with lava slag. Ivy, moss and trees grow all around.
