Zesch am See Forestry Office
Highlight • Historical Site
The main building was probably built in the late 18th or early 19th century. A building is already listed on the original measurement table sheet from 1841, which must have belonged to the estate of the Count von Solms-Baruth at that time, because: a forester's house was not mentioned in Zesch until 1891. Further development took place in the second half of the 19th century. In addition, other conversions from the 20th century are known. In 2006 and 2007, the forester restored the buildings.

Memorial stone featuring the Eye of Providence at Zeschsee
Highlight • Monument
The incident is said to have occurred as follows: The royal family often and gladly visited the vineyard in Zesch. The fastest way to do this was with horses. From the princely bathing area, which is also the narrowest part of the lake, the princely family crossed the lake with their entourage on horseback. The saddler's horse, who was not a swimmer, shied and threw the saddler into the water. This could be pulled out of the water and resuscitated on the saving bank. Then he saw the "eye of God" above him.
