Schloss Deidesheim, Medieval castle in Deidesheim, Germany.

The castle features remaining medieval defensive structures, including segments of ancient walls and remnants of a water-filled moat surrounding the building complex.

Following destruction during conflicts in 1689, the castle was rebuilt between 1739 and 1746 under architect Johann Georg Stahl's direction as a baroque structure.

The castle served as an administrative center for the prince-bishops of Speyer, who utilized its cellars and barns to store collected taxes from local residents.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds, which now integrate various urban developments while maintaining connections to the original medieval architecture.

The structure evolved from a 13th-century water fortress, with residential houses constructed atop baroque castle remains in the early 1800s.
