Saarbrücken Castle in its current form was preceded by a medieval castle and a Renaissance palace. According to historical sources, the first imperial Sarabruca already existed in the year 999. The west wing of the castle fell victim to the Second World War, but this was directly rebuilt in 1947/48. By 1969, the condition of the building fabric had deteriorated noticeably, whereupon in 1981 the then city council decided to renovate the castle. Today, Saarbrücken Castle serves as the administrative centre of the Saarbrücken Regional Association. The vaulted cellar also houses exhibition rooms of the Saar Historical Museum, the museum in the castle church and a restaurant.
