In the time of the Roman Empire, the border-wall called limes went through Lindschied's boundaries. Today, many remnants can be found, such as parts of this old wall itself and remains of Roman watchtowers.

In Lindschied, the co-founder of the Anheuser-Busch brewery, Adolphus Busch, built his mansion "Villa Lilly", which is named after his wife Elisabeth Anheuser. In 1913, Adolphus Busch died in this mansion.
