Birkenau Castle, Baroque castle in Birkenau, Germany.
The two-story castle features French-style gardens transformed into an English landscaped park, divided by the Bundesstraße 38 road in 1847.
Baron Wambolt von Umstadt commissioned the castle in 1765, with construction completed in 1779 under court architect Franz Wilhelm Rabaliatti's supervision.
The castle represents the evolution of German architectural preferences, transitioning from French formal gardens to English landscape designs in 1787.
The Wamboldt von Umstadt family maintains ownership of the castle and offers the venue for events, including weddings, seminars, and receptions.
Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell, a notable landscape architect, redesigned the castle grounds in 1787, creating an extensive park that remains partially intact.
