Schloss Wiesloch

Schloss Wiesloch is a castle site dominated by a distinctive tower in Wiesloch, Germany. The remains include foundations and wall fragments that mark where administrative structures once stood during the 18th century.

The original castle was destroyed in 1689 during the War of Palatine Succession and later demolished, with only the main tower surviving. This tower was subsequently repurposed as a bell tower for the local community.

The stones from the former castle were repurposed between 1746 and 1751 for the construction of the Augustinian monastery church in Wiesloch.

The site is easily accessible on foot and located near Wiesloch's town center. The ruins can be viewed from outside, with the best views available from the forecourt area.

Stones from the demolished castle were reused between 1746 and 1751 to construct the Augustinian monastery church in Wiesloch. This material recycling shows how the local community repurposed the remains after destruction.
