Schloss Geispitz

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.

Schloss Geispitz was built in the 16th century in the Renaissance style. Its name means something like "Geisberg" or "Geißbrunnen". After the nearby Kästenburg, later known as Hambacher Schloss, was destroyed in 1552, the castle served as an alternative residence for the Bishops of Speyer. Over the following centuries it passed through several changes of ownership.

The name Geispitz means "goat mountain" or "goat spring". The site lies on Schloßstraße at the northeast foot of the Schloßberg, about a kilometre from Hambacher Schloss. Since the 2000s an information board titled "Weingut Schäffer Schlössel Geispitz" has stood at the former castle site, giving a short account of the building's history.

The remains stand on Schloßstraße at the northeastern foot of the Schloßberg, on the western edge of Hambach an der Weinstraße, about one kilometre northeast of Hambacher Schloss. The surviving substructure walls, the baroque pilaster portal and the garden house with its pyramid roof belong to the Schäffer winery, housed in the former economic courtyard. An information board titled Weingut Schäffer Schlössel Geispitz on the site summarises the building's history.

The surviving baroque pilaster portal in the slope wall bears a spolium dated 1859, and a small garden house with a pyramid roof was added around the mid-19th century. An information board titled "Weingut Schäffer Schlössel Geispitz" now outlines the building's history.
