This property is privately owned. The old chapel is closed and the windows are bricked up😮.

Duke Gustav Samuel Leopold of Palatinate-Zweibrücken built the Luisenthal palace with palace chapel in the Gutenbrunnen valley from 1723. On May 13, 1723 he married Luise Dorothea, Countess von Hoffmann (1700-1745), the daughter of the heir to the Gutenbrunnen and master huntsman Johann Heinrich Hoffmann. He gave her the entire Wörschweiler ban as a gift: "... the Gutenbrunn and Schwarzenackerhof together with the nearby Swiss factory and dairy, as well as the brick and glass works not only ad dies vitae [for life], but the right of inheritance with the condition that to Subsistence of a Catholic priest, who would like to serve the chapel we built on the Gutenbrunn in honor of St. Walburgis, should pay 100 guilders every year so that Holy Mass can be said there at least 3 times a week".
