Very nice town with many great cafes 👍👌

The town hall and castle of Bad Bergzabern is very impressive and voluminous

A beautiful baroque palace with two Chinese pavilions facing each other. When it was built approximately 260 years ago, this was a pheasant garden serving as a hunting and game park, and the ground floor of the palace actually housed the pheasants' breeding quarters. However, the building was soon used for social purposes, and the pheasants had to breed elsewhere. Today, the building houses the Forestry Education Center.

In the Peasants' War of 1525, the castle in Bergzabern, which was first mentioned in 1333, was plundered and burned down. In the years up to 1532, the destroyed castle was rebuilt as a fortified palace on the same site. The south building was built first, founded on oak piles because of the swampy ground: called the Ludwigsbau after its builder, Ludwig the Black of Palatinate-Zweibrücken. The two round towers in the west and east served to house cannons, and the living and utility rooms were on the two upper floors. The complex was protected by a moat; a connection to the city wall is likely, but cannot be reconstructed today. The Wolfgangsbau was built between 1561 and 1579, a three-wing extension that adjoined the Ludwigsbau to the north. Begun under Duke Wolfgang, the Wolfgangsbau was completed under his son Johann I. The outstanding architectural feature is the giant gate in the Renaissance style. The castle was plundered during the Thirty Years' War. On February 20, 1676, French raiding parties from the Philippsburg fortress burned down the castle and destroyed parts of the town. In 1704, the building had no roof, and the cellars under the Ludwigsbau and the east wing of the Wolfgangsbau were used primarily. From 1720 to 1725, the castle was rebuilt under the direction of the Swedish-Zweibrücken chief building director Jonas Ericson Sundahl and inventory for the living quarters was purchased. In 1728, the castle was habitable again. A high point in the history of the town and castle of Bergzabern was the years 1744 to 1774, when the widow of Christian III, Duchess Caroline of Palatinate-Zweibrücken, had her widow's residence in the castle. The castle suffered damage during the French Revolution as a symbol of the defeat of feudal rule. It was confiscated as national property and subsequently sold on to private individuals in sections. In 1909, the castle burned down completely. The roof structure and interior furnishings in particular were destroyed. Damage occurred again in the Second World War, especially to the giant gate. The building was completely renovated in 1982-1984, and the Bad Bergzabern municipality moved its administrative offices into the castle. Source: https://www.vg-bad-bergzabern.de/slider/schloss/

It's hard to believe that this was once a castle with a moat and defensive walls. Definitely a gem in this city.

The monument honors Grand Duke Karl Friedrich (1728-1811), who was a pioneer of his time with his long reign of 65 years and his reform efforts.

The baroque castle was largely rebuilt between 1955 and 1966 after it was destroyed in World War II. Today it houses the State Museum. The 165 steps of the 42-meter-high tower lead to the viewing platform, from which you have a magnificent view of the Palatinate Forest and parts of the Black Forest.

In 1094 the Benedictine Abbey Gottesaue was founded by Count Berthold von Hohenberg. The monastery was looted and damaged by fire in 1525. Margrave Ernst Friedrich von Baden-Durlach had a castle built on the site from 1588 to 1597 according to the plans of Johannes Schoch. In 1689 the castle was destroyed by fire during the War of the Palatinate Succession and was poorly repaired. After another fire in 1735, it was rebuilt lower in 1743 and used by the Kammergut as a fruit store. In 1818 the building became a barracks and in 1919 it became a tenement building.
