Schloss Dürkheim, Former Baroque palace in Bad Dürkheim, Germany.

Schloss Dürkheim was constructed as a two-story building with 23 window bays and mansard roofs on a hill overlooking the town.

The palace served as the residence of the Counts of Leiningen-Dagsburg-Hardenburg from 1725 until its destruction by French Revolutionary forces in 1794.

A wing of the palace transformed into a public theater around 1780, where director August Wilhelm Iffland presented theatrical productions.

The current Kurhaus, built between 1822 and 1826 on the palace site, functions as a restaurant, event venue, and casino.

Parts of the medieval city wall were incorporated into the northern boundary of the palace and converted into garden spaces.
