Scheibenhardt Palace, Château in Karlsruhe, Germany.

Scheibenhardt Palace is a former hunting lodge on the southwestern edge of Karlsruhe. It is a three-storey building with a central hall linked by outdoor stairs to a garden, and it is surrounded by a low ring-shaped wall and moat.

Scheibenhardt was first mentioned in 1150 and passed into Baden possession in 1501. From 1698 Franziska Sibylla Augusta had it rebuilt as a hunting lodge by Domenico Egidio Rossi, Johann Michael Ludwig Rohrer and Franz Ignaz Krohmer. During the war against France (1701–1714) it was incorporated into the defensive lines. Markgraf Ludwig Georg had it extensively modernised in 1754; the area passed to Bulach in 1926 and to Karlsruhe in 1929.

The estate shows its rural character through preserved farm buildings and open spaces that reflect life on a traditional noble property. Walking through the grounds today, you can still understand how such a country seat was organized and used.

The property sits directly along a main road and is easily visible, though public access may be limited on regular days. It is worth checking if guided tours or open days are scheduled before planning a visit.

The grounds now feature a golf course alongside the historic buildings, showing how the property has evolved from purely agricultural use to modern recreation. This blend of old and new demonstrates how traditional estates adapt to contemporary purposes.
