The Rococo Braunshardt Palace has been owned by the city of Weiterstadt since 2006, was restored until 2008 and is open to the public on certain occasions. The castle park is open daily during the warm season.In 1760, Landgrave Ludwig VIII gave the Braunshardt estate to his son, Prince Georg Wilhelm of Hesse-Darmstadt. There he had the architect Johann Jakob Hill build the castle based on the French model. A special feature of the castle is that each room is decorated in a different color. In 1885, the British Queen Victoria visited the castle. She later called it a “colorful chocolate box” in her diary.
