Leininger Oberhof, Schlossgebäude in Grünstadt
The Leininger Oberhof is a baroque palace from the early 1700s with a distinctive three-wing layout located in Grünstadt. The facade features elaborate sandstone work and is dominated by a monumental, ornately designed entrance gate.
The building was constructed in 1716 and served as a residence for the Leiningen-Westerburg family for generations. After the family's decline, it transformed into various civic uses including a school and library, and is now being restored for community cultural purposes.
The Leininger Oberhof was the seat of the Counts of Leiningen-Westerburg and remains a symbol of Grünstadt's noble past. Its ornate baroque entrance portal reflects the importance this family held in regional affairs.
The building is freely accessible from the outside and can be viewed from street level, revealing its baroque details and ornamental gate clearly. It is centrally located in Grünstadt and easily reached on foot without requiring a car.
A ceiling painting over 300 years old depicting Orpheus in the Underworld by artist Johann Martin Seekatz adorns the south wing's stairwell. This hidden artistic creation reveals the sophistication that lay behind the facade of this noble estate.
