Gustavsburg Castle (Jägersburg)

In 1590, Count Palatine Johann I had the medieval moated castle in what was originally Hattweiler, a Franconian settlement founded in the 8th century, converted into a palace. Settlement and castle were renamed Hansweiler after him. In 1622 a tower was built for better guarding and defense. Instead of the castle that burned down in the Thirty Years' War, a residential building with barn and stables was built under Duke Friedrich Ludwig in 1666. Duke Gustav Samuel Leopold von Zweibrücken had a chapel built in 1720 and today's residential building in 1721 and named the palace Gustavsburg. The ducal coat of arms is a reminder of this. After the French Revolution, the forester Christian Lindemann from Neuheisel bought the castle at auction in 1803. Today the Gustavsburg is owned by the city of Homburg. The castle and palace museum on the history of Jägersburg is located in the main building. The outdoor area is accessible all year round. The rooms of the Gustavsburg are open for guided tours by arrangement.
