Schlosskirche Blieskastel, Catholic church in Blieskastel, Germany
Description
Schlosskirche Blieskastel is a rectangular hall church with a polygonal choir and a prominent gable facade. The building is crowned by two towers, with the western tower featuring a distinctive onion dome that stands out visually.
History
The building was constructed between 1776 and 1781 under architect Peter Reheis, commissioned by the Counts von der Leyen. It was originally designed as a monastery church for the Franciscans.
Culture
The church displays features of late Baroque and Classical styles that you can see in its interior furnishings and decorative details. Visitors notice how these two architectural traditions blend together in the original fittings from when it was built.
Practical
The building underwent major restoration from 2001 to 2004, with facade and roofing improvements completed. Visitors will find a well-maintained structure that is easy to view from the outside.
