Kurhaus

The Kurhaus is a two-story neoclassical building featuring triangular pediments and central projections, designed in the Weinbrenner architectural style. Inside are dining establishments, event spaces, and the Bad Dürkheim casino that has operated since 1936.

The building was erected between 1822 and 1826 by architect Johann Bernhard Spatz on the site of a baroque palace destroyed by fire in 1794. Its construction marked the town's recovery following that disaster.

The building divides Castle Square from the Spa Park and functions today as a central gathering place for events and social occasions. Visitors experience this as the location where the town comes together to celebrate and meet.

The building is centrally located and easily accessible from both Castle Square and the Spa Park sides. Visitors can enter the restaurants and spaces independently or attend events that are held regularly throughout the year.

King Ludwig I of Bavaria and Queen Therese visited the building in 1829, leaving behind an important moment in the place's history. This royal visit reinforced its significance as a major venue for the region.
