Blieskastel

Blieskastel is a municipality in Saarpfalz-Kreis located in a river valley with fourteen districts and a central core area. The Blies River shapes the landscape and connects the various neighborhoods throughout the region.

The area changed hands from the Counts of Blieskastel to French rule in 1795 and later became part of modern Germany. These transitions shaped the region's development and cultural heritage.

The town center reflects baroque style through fountains and historic buildings that visitors encounter while walking through the streets and neighborhoods.

The town operates as a Kneipp spa resort since 1978, offering wellness activities and health treatments available year-round. Visitors can explore the grounds and participate in water-based wellness practices suited to different seasons.

The Gollenstein is a 7-meter-high stone monument dating back roughly 4000 years and stands as the largest standing stone of its kind in Central Europe. This prehistoric landmark draws visitors interested in early cultures and archaeological sites.
