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/

From the castle there is a very impressive view of the Upper Rhine Graben!

Bergzabern Castle is the landmark of the city of Bad Bergzabern and is located in the city center there. The dukes of Pfalz-Zweibrücken once resided in it. Today the administration of the Bad Bergzabern community is housed in the castle.

The castle portal, which is well worth seeing, dates from the transition from Gothic to Renaissance and was completed in 1530.

Fantastic view over the entire Rhine plain

In the afternoons in particular, when the sun shines, there are wide views of the vineyards of the southern wine route

Here you can stop off, enjoy the medieval atmosphere and the fantastic view from the terrace.

Very nice castle complex. There is also a small restaurant inside and outside very nice. Magnificent views from the terrace and from the tower. Very interesting events in the castle courtyard in summer.
