Tips

This villa was built in 1835 by the French railway pioneer Paul Denis, later Paul von Denis (pronounced De-ni; emphasis on the 2nd syllable).

It was bought at the end of 2006 by the Foundation for the Rhineland-Palatinate Technical University of Kaiserslautern-Landau. It is primarily available to the university, research institutions and donors as a conference venue.”

The conference rooms (groups of up to 60 people) can also be booked externally. Source and further information:

The villa includes (right) a large park with sculptures and (left) a neighboring guest house.

Paul Camille Denis built the villa at the foot of the ruins of the castle Diemerstein in Diemerstein, a district of Frankenstein in the Palatinate Forest, less than a kilometer from Frankenstein (Palatinate) station, at the Pfälzischen Ludwigsbahn built by him. In 2001, the villa was sold to a private individual, who in turn sold it to the Foundation for the University of Kaiserslautern in 2007. This uses them as a conference center.
