Schloss Geispitz, Renaissance castle ruins in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, Germany.
Schloss Geispitz is a historic castle site in Neustadt an der Weinstraße where only foundations and archaeological remains are visible today. The location is now occupied by a winery that combines the old castle grounds with modern wine production.
The castle was built in the 16th century as a Renaissance fortress and served the Geispitz family for generations. French forces destroyed the structure in 1688 during conflict and it was never rebuilt.
The place carries the name of a noble family and sits surrounded by vineyards that shape the local landscape. Visitors experience today a strong bond between this historical site and the wine traditions of the region.
The grounds are accessible today through the resident winery for wine tastings and visits. It is worth checking in advance when tours and tastings are offered to make the most of your visit.
Historical drawings of the original castle were rediscovered centuries later and provide researchers with precise insights into the architecture of that time. These documents remain a valuable window for visitors into what this place once looked like.
