Wirtschaftshof des Schlößchens Geispitz

The Wirtschaftshof des Schlößchens Geispitz is a Renaissance-era complex of functional farm buildings in Neustadt an der Weinstraße. The site contains stables, livestock shelters, storage rooms, and a preserved wine press house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries.

The site developed during an era when wine estates needed to organize their production and served long as a production and storage facility under the Prince-Bishopric administration. Renovations in the 17th century reflect how agricultural operations and building use changed over time.

The complex displays Renaissance architectural details across its facades that reflect different building phases. Visitors can read the craftsmanship of the period in the stonework and structural choices typical of wine-growing regions.

The buildings are now part of an active winery and can be viewed from outside, with an information panel at Schloßstraße providing key details. Visitors should remember this is a working property and the grounds should be explored with respect for ongoing operations.

The grounds preserve a wine press house from 1613 that reveals how specialized production had become in this region by the early 1600s. The historic Kindelsbrunnen fountain dating to 1601 illustrates how well-equipped this production facility was.
