Schloss Braunshardt

Schloss Braunshardt is a Baroque castle in Darmstadt-Dieburg featuring colorful interior spaces with French architectural design. The main building is accompanied by a garden pavilion that forms a complete architectural ensemble from the period.

The castle was built in the 1760s and served as a residence for Queen Louise, mother of Emperor Wilhelm I. The building reflects royal connections to the Prussian ruling family and their ties to the German southwest.

The castle shows the influence of Rococo artists throughout its decorated rooms and ornamental details. The furnishings reflect the lifestyle of the German aristocracy in the 1700s and how they used these grand houses daily.

The castle hosts events, seminars, exhibitions, and ceremonies throughout the year. Guided visits can be arranged in advance by contacting info@schloss-braunshardt.org for availability and details.

A Christmas and crafts market is held in the castle park on the second weekend of Advent, supporting local artisans. The event draws visitors who appreciate traditional craftsmanship and seasonal celebrations.
