Karlsberg Castle was built from 1776 to 1786 by Duke Charles II of Palatinate-Zweibrücken on the Karlsberg, then still Buchenberg. The ornate palace complex served the duke as a residence palace - but only for a short time. In 1793, French revolutionary troops burned the castle down.

Today you can see a few remains, signs tell you more about the story. The extensive grounds once included the main palace, the stables with a riding arena for a thousand horses, the orangery with the theater, cavalier houses, barracks and farm buildings. In the great garden, the "Karlslust", there was a zoo, cascades, ponds and a bear kennel.

Here stood the main palace of the castle Karlsberg, with a court of honor. It is said that this magnificent castle had 1000 windows.
It was built together with the complete "Karlslust" by Duke Karl-August. The construction and service life of the entire system did not last 20 years. Then everything was destroyed to the ground, by the French Revolution.
