Hofruine Weilach, Medieval farm ruins in Bad Dürkheim district, Germany.

The stone remains of Weilach Farm stand among willow trees and meadows, with a central courtyard containing an old water well.

First documented in 1381 under Leininger counts ownership, the farm operated until 1790 when robbers burned it down during a violent raid.

The Pfälzerwald-Verein organization placed a memorial stone at the site to document the agricultural heritage of the Palatinate region.

The ruins connect to marked trails between 5 and 25 kilometers long, with the Forsthaus Weilach restaurant located near Kreisstraße 3.

During the 1790 attack, the farmer's daughter survived by hiding in a doghouse and later identified one attacker from nearby Leistadt village.

Location: Bad Dürkheim (district)
