Kirchheimbolanden Castle

Highlight • Castle

Kirchheimbolanden Castle is located in the northern part of the city of the same name. As early as 1390, a castle was first mentioned in a document on the site of today's castle. The former castle has been used as a senior citizens' residence since 2003. The building restores the original layout of the 18th century with its central wing, side wing and inner courtyard. However, only the east wing retained its external shape.

Red Tower Kirchheimbolanden

Highlight • Historical Site

He almost lost his life a hundred years ago. Because at that time the street passage was created by simply chopping a hole in the city wall. Fortunately, a tiny majority in the city council prevented the tower from being removed at the same time. This building, freshly restored and newly covered, is particularly impressive and important as the cornerstone of the city wall. Six meters thick, twelve meters high. A column in the picturesque wall with the historic battlement.

Schillerhain Watchtower

Highlight • Monument

The watch tower in Schillerhain was originally part of a medieval observation and early warning system consisting of several watch towers in the area, which ensured better protection and better defense against enemies. An example of this is the watch tower in Albisheim in the Zellertal, which was only a few kilometers away and was built around the same time.

Wild Boar Statue at Römerplatz, Kirchheimbolanden

Highlight • Monument

The square was created as part of urban redevelopment in the 1980s. Originally built up closely with gabled houses, it is now used for events and the weekly market. The boar standing there is part of the city coat of arms.
