Schloss Jägersberg stands in Neunkirchen (Landkreis Neunkirchen), in Saarland, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Jägersberg was a baroque hunting lodge built from 1752 for Prince William Henry of Nassau-Saarbrücken on a hill above Neunkirchen. Designed by architect Friedrich Joachim Stengel, almost nothing of the building survives today except fragments absorbed into later structures in the town centre. Plundered and set on fire in 1793 during the French revolutionary wars, it fell into ruin and was eventually demolished in the early 1820s. A house on Schlossstraße still rests on part of the palace's original vaulted cellars.

What to know

The palace itself no longer exists: nothing remains to visit except vaulted cellars now built into a house on Schlossstraße.
There is no organised visitor site, opening hours or admission fee, since the building was demolished in the 19th century.
The former palace grounds lie today in the centre of Neunkirchen, around Schlossstraße, Seilerstraße and Kochgasse.
Coming here means an urban walk in search of traces rather than a conventional monument visit.
No information on accessibility, parking or dogs applies, since there is no visitor site as such.
