Schloss Pettersheim was a hunting lodge belonging to the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken, built on the site of an older moated stronghold first recorded in 1387. Several successive buildings stood here, including a Renaissance residence and later a structure designed by the Swedish architect Jonas Erikson Sundahl. The final hunting lodge, erected between 1759 and 1768, was destroyed in 1793 by French revolutionary troops. Only the farm buildings of the former estate survive today.
