Castle Zweibrücken

Castle Zweibrücken is a Rococo residence in Rhineland-Palatinate with elegant, flowing forms and fine stucco details adorning its facades. The structure displays the characteristic lightness and refinement of this style with its symmetrical gardens.

The castle was built in the 18th century as the administrative center of the Duchy of Zweibrücken and remained a seat of power for generations. It survived various political upheavals and has since shaped the region's history.

The castle served as the seat of the dukes and continues to shape Zweibrücken's character today. Visitors can experience how the princely family lived and governed within these rooms.

The rooms are best explored by taking time to observe the details on the walls and ceilings of each chamber. The gardens are also accessible and provide a nice break from the interior spaces.

The name Zweibrücken literally means 'two bridges' and refers to the historical location between two watercourses. This geographic feature was decisive in establishing a princely residence here.
