The Michelsburg Castle and the neighboring former provost church of St. Remigius on the Remigiusberg near Haschbach, in the center of the Glan Valley, are the historical heart of the Remigiusland region. The first documented mention of an illegally built hilltop castle dates back to 1127, when Benedictine monks purchased it from a knight named Adelbert. The monks used the stones of the former castle to build the Benedictine provost church of St. Remigi, the remnant of which is the Remigius Church. Count Henry II of Zweibrücken built a second castle out of wood in 1260 – during the inheritance disputes of the counts of Veldenz – after the first male line of counts of Veldenz had died out in 1259. This castle was later expanded and furnished with stone, and a chapel (dedicated to St. Michael) was built inside. In 1543, Count Palatine Rupert of Veldenz made the castle his secondary residence and had a princely crypt built in the provost church. Little is known about what happened to the castle in later centuries, but it was reportedly still intact in 1708 and changed hands several times. In 1868, it came into the possession of the St. Remigiusberg Catholic Church Foundation. Today, the 20-meter-high shield wall, remnants of the palace, the curtain wall, and the moat are preserved.

The Altenburg (Deinsberg Castle Ruins): It was probably built in the second half of the 12th century. At that time, Emperor Barbarossa had several castles built to secure his country's borders. At that time, Theisbergstegen consisted of two towns belonging to different territories. It is likely that the Altenburg was called Deinsberg Castle, as it was customary for lords and knights to name themselves after their castle residence. There is ample evidence of this, for example, Knight Anselm and Servant Heinrich, both of Deinsberg. The castle was approximately 60 meters long and 33 meters wide. The residential tower and gate tower were elevated and separated by a moat, which probably contained a cistern for rainwater. It was probably destroyed as early as 1400.

📝 Altenburg Castle is a quiet, historic site on the Potzberg mountain – the remains of a Celtic ring wall, probably dating back to the Iron Age. Today, only the ramparts and landforms are visible, but if you look closely, you can sense how old this place really is. Among the moss, roots, and stones, you can sense the centuries. 💡 Tip: Let your gaze wander and let your imagination run wild – places like these tell stories, not loudly, but deeply.

In 1590, Count Palatine Johann I had the medieval moated castle in what was originally Hattweiler, a Franconian settlement founded in the 8th century, converted into a palace. Settlement and castle were renamed Hansweiler after him. In 1622 a tower was built for better guarding and defense. Instead of the castle that burned down in the Thirty Years' War, a residential building with barn and stables was built under Duke Friedrich Ludwig in 1666. Duke Gustav Samuel Leopold von Zweibrücken had a chapel built in 1720 and today's residential building in 1721 and named the palace Gustavsburg. The ducal coat of arms is a reminder of this. After the French Revolution, the forester Christian Lindemann from Neuheisel bought the castle at auction in 1803. Today the Gustavsburg is owned by the city of Homburg. The castle and palace museum on the history of Jägersburg is located in the main building. The outdoor area is accessible all year round. The rooms of the Gustavsburg are open for guided tours by arrangement. https://www.urlaub.saarland/Media/Attractions/Gustavsburg
