Here's a link to the former Friedrichsbühl Hunting Lodge: https://xn--friedrichsbhl-6ob.de/ Article from Pfalz-Express: Bellheim – The historic Friedrichsbühl Hunting Lodge in Bellheim is experiencing a modern revival: The Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Agriculture is supporting the project "Tourist Development of the Former Friedrichsbühl Castle in Bellheim" with approximately €41,200 in EU funding. The project, implemented by the Local Action Group (LAG) "From the Rhine to the Wine," aims to faithfully reconstruct the castle's Renaissance portal and create a virtual representation of the building using augmented reality. This is intended to attract not only tourists, but also school groups and people with limited mobility. Friedrichsbühl Hunting Lodge, also known as Neuhaus Bellheim, was built in 1552 by Elector Frederick II of the Palatinate in the Renaissance style. During the Thirty Years' War, the castle, which was last used as a stud farm, was abandoned and destroyed twice, in 1627 and 1674. Today, only the moat, a memorial stone, and an information panel remain. The castle's Renaissance portal, which served as the entrance to St. Nicholas Church in Bellheim until 1897, can now be seen at the Historical Museum of the Palatinate in Speyer. State Secretary Andy Becht (FDP) said that the combination of a scale replica of the Renaissance portal with new, innovative augmented reality applications will be an attraction for locals and tourists alike. Background: The project is being funded under the LEADER program, which promotes rural development through local actors. LEADER, an EU funding program, supports projects in rural areas that are initiated and implemented by local groups.

Beautiful old things to admire

Friedrichsbühl Hunting Lodge (also known as Neuhaus Bellheim), located north of Bellheim, was built in 1552 by Elector Frederick II of the Palatinate as a Renaissance structure. During the Thirty Years' War, the lodge, which had most recently been used as a stud farm, was abandoned. After being destroyed twice, in 1627 and 1674, the ruins were sold for demolition around 1725. The moat remains at the original site of the lodge, and a memorial stone and an information panel mark its former location. The lodge's Renaissance portal served as the entrance to St. Nicholas Church in Bellheim until 1897; today it is located in the Historical Museum of the Palatinate in Speyer.

Today it seemed deserted, but it must be very busy here in the summer.

The "Bärenruh," also commonly known as "Rentnereck," has been shining in its new splendor since March 2022. From here, one has a good view for observing the storks in the wetlands during the watering days in May and July. Wooden benches with a table and a shelter offer walkers, cyclists, and hikers a beautiful resting place right on the edge of the forest in Ottersheim.
