Saarbrücken Castle

From the old town of Saarbrücken ("St. Johanner Markt") you look over the "Old Bridge" directly to the castle. Right past a parking lot leads to the courtyard with fountain sculpture.
The "Cafe am Schloss" invites you for a cozy break (opening times and more: see picture)
During the summer months, the "Sunday at the Castle" (musical performances) takes place.

And also go behind the castle and examine the small garden / park area :)

After the death of Friedrich Ludwig von Nassau-Saarbrücken in 1728, the possessions fell back to the usingic branch of the house of Nassau. In 1735, Princess Charlotte Amalie von Nassau-Usingen, née von Nassau-Dillenburg, divided the hereditary lands among her sons. The elder Karl received the Nassau lands on the right bank of the Rhine, the younger Wilhelm Heinrich those on the left bank of the Rhine. When Charlotte Amalie's sons took over the government in 1741, the architect Friedrich Joachim Stengel from Zerbst was commissioned to draw up an appraisal of the structural condition of the Saarbrücken Castle. The archive documents provide further information on a plan on January 26, 1739 for a new building. The change in the princely way of life, the abandonment of military construction functions, the more cosmopolitan attitude and the desire for a freer form of investment with outdoor courtyards and gardens as well as the will to a more comfortable, more magnificent design and a refined living culture are justified
