Gustavsburg, Homburg, 2012, Wolfgang HennPhoto: Wolfgang Henn, CC BY, Saarpfalz-Touristik, Wolfgang Henn
Gustavsburg Castle - a baroque gem on the castle pond.
In 1590, Count Palatine Johann I had the medieval moated castle in the original Hattweiler, a Franconian settlement founded in the 8th century, converted into a castle. The settlement and castle were renamed Hansweiler after him. In 1622, a tower was built for better guarding and defence. In 1666, Duke Friedrich Ludwig built a residential building with a barn and stables in place of the castle, which had been burnt down during the Thirty Years' War. Duke Gustav Samuel Leopold von Zweibrücken had a chapel built in 1720 and the current residential building in 1721 and named the castle Gustavsburg. The ducal coat of arms is a reminder of this. After the French Revolution, forester Christian Lindemann from Neuheisel bought the castle at auction in 1803. Today, Gustavsburg Castle is owned by the town of Homburg. The castle and palace museum on the history of Jägersburg is located in the main building. The grounds are open to visitors all year round. The rooms of Gustavsburg Castle are open for guided tours by prior arrangement.
The Hubertus Chapel is often used for weddings.
