Bischöfliches Schloss, Episcopal château in Dirmstein, Germany

The episcopal château features a rectangular layout with four corner towers, surrounded by a water moat aligned with cardinal directions.

First documented in 1414, the château served as a summer residence for the Prince-Bishops of Worms and housed the administrative office of Worms Diocese.

The east facade displays late baroque elements and contains a sandstone relief depicting the coat of arms of Bishop Philipp I von Rodenstein.

The private property allows exterior viewing only, with Renaissance wall paintings visible on fragments of the east facade and interior walls.

The cellars maintain their original barrel vaults, while the remaining staircase tower stands as evidence of the northern castle building.
