Seehalde Villa

One of the people who shaped the town of Radolfzell was the honorary citizen and poet Joseph Victor von Scheffel. Impressed by the area around the lake, the Karlsruhe-born poet bought a 10,000-square-meter lakefront property on the Mettnau in 1871 after a recreational vacation in Radolfzell and had a country house built on it in the Italian style, which is still called "Villa Seehalde" today. Today, it houses one of the clinics of the METTNAU rehabilitation facilities.
