Linde auf dem Anger in Holzhausen

The large lime tree stands on a raised stone-supported plaza in the village center of Holzhausen, supported by wooden beams to prevent branch collapse.

From the Middle Ages, local lords conducted judicial proceedings under the shade of this lime tree, which has been standing for approximately 300 years.

The tree marks the traditional gathering point of the village, situated near the path leading to the neo-renaissance Hohenhaus estate.

The lime tree and its surrounding plaza are protected as natural monuments, requiring special permits for any modifications or maintenance work.

The tree exhibits a distinctive crown shape resulting from historical pruning techniques that created two distinct horizontal growth levels.
