Schloss Halberg, Château in Saarbrücken, Germany.
Schloss Halberg is a castle on the western side of Saarbrücken built on a hill with views over the surrounding area. The structure displays neogothic style features, and a maintained park with paths and green spaces surrounds the main building.
The castle was built in the second half of the 19th century and replaced an earlier baroque structure with a different purpose from the 18th century. The von Stumm-Halberg family, owners at that time, gave the building its current name.
The name comes from the hill where it stands, and visitors today appreciate the building mainly for its architectural style and park grounds. The rooms give a sense of how wealthy families lived in the 19th century.
Access to the grounds is possible from the surrounding roads, and the park can be explored on foot. Visitors should allow some time to see the entire site and enjoy the views from the hilltop.
Beneath the castle lie remains of an ancient Roman temple with carved stone benches that archaeologists uncovered. This discovery shows the land was inhabited and used for religious purposes over 2,000 years ago.
