Centre of the Baroque old town of Blieskastel.

Markets were already being held on Paradeplatz during the time of Countess Marianne Von-der-Leyen. However, it also served representative purposes. For example, it was used by Von-der-Leyen's guard for parades.

The symmetrical architecture of that time can still be seen today. In addition to the regular weekly market, Paradeplatz is also used for other events.

The history of the Baroque town can be experienced in a particularly vivid way on an audio tour.

As a former royal seat, Blieskastel is an important stop on the Saar-Palatinate Baroque Route.
