Schloss Blieskastel, Renaissance castle ruins in Blieskastel, Germany
The castle foundations and base floor of the central wing stand on a rocky outcrop above the Blies River valley in Saarland.
Karl Kaspar and Damian Hartard von der Leyen constructed the baroque castle between 1661 and 1676 on the site of a medieval fortress.
The restored orangerie section of the castle, known as the Long Building, functions as a concert hall and theater for local performances.
The castle grounds remain accessible to visitors, with preserved garden terraces and surrounding walls displaying architectural elements from the 17th century.
French troops used the castle as winter quarters in 1793, leading to extensive damage that caused stones to fall onto houses below in 1801.
